If believe that makes you feel better, then fine. It is not true for all sectors. Not remotely true for many specialized job descriptions. And not all jobs can be performed after a 6 month training period.
Now, these cases have nothing to do with "shortage", but rather, replacement. Disney's H1-Bs were not hired "in addition to" the existing workers, existing workers got replaced. That's bad.
