Then the program in turn wouldn't be abiding by the idea of the H1B program in the first place, which is to bring in people who have skills that can't be found in the US. You can hire new grads from the US just as easily as abroad, just maybe not at the artificially low prices that you want to pay them.

Except, in this context, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and others aren't underpaying anyone.

Also being a new grad != employable at one of these companies, and no, training isn't going to help them either.
