Until the employment of citizens is at 100% there should be no h-1b employees. I am very qualified for many tech jobs, but with some it is impossible to get even an interview; that should not be the case.
Look around at any place that lives off of government grants, and look at the make-up of who gets that money. In stem related fields i would say that it is well under 50% citizens, and under 20% white citizens. Just walk around in a research facility at UCLA or any major research university; the faculty are not american, the researchers are not american, BUT it is all funded by america.
It's almost like H1-Bs are supposed to be for positions that there isn't ample workers for. Skilled jobs that have more demand than supply. It's almost like most of the unemployed aren't suitable for those jobs.

The program has been abused to only provide lower-cost indentured employees to corporations who's shareholders benefit from it.
