I'm only talking about the subclass of foreign workers who are educated in the US and already in the country.
They surely would not accept longer working hours or less pay.
I didn't say these graduates aren't competing, merely that in the case above nobody is being replaced (in a literal sense) as these were new positions to be filled. Also, they were not filled under the H-1B program, but the F-1 OPT program.
F-1 OPT (post graduation training) hiring is virtually unrestricted (except for its duration).
Of course workers who reside abroad and are brought to the US on H-1B directly are an entirely different class of foreign workers. I cannot speak to this group.
