Did you read the article? Many tech jobs can't be done effectively in India or overseas with low quality labor for any number of reasons. The 250 American workers for Disney had their jobs replaced in the US, not by overseas workers.

The point of the H1-B visa is precisely for those cases where there are no Americans that can do the job, so your hire follows the law.
