You admit you arent an expert and you dont have time to understand the data. Yet you have already drawn a conclusion.
I am not an expert. I also do not have time to understand the data. That is why all I am comfortable saying is, my gut instinct is that H1B visa's dont drive down salaries (more than adding more workers affects salaries) but I dont know for certain.
The next best thing we can do is look in the literature for someone who has done this analysis. I like scholar.google.com.
If we dont even have time for that, I guess its just not that important and we just go through life not knowing, hopeful that the day will come when we will see a reddit link to a blog post about a behind-paywall news article summarizing an academic analysis.
