Disclaimer: I've been on H1B for 8 years and transferred it many times to big and small companies.
My observations:
1. USA has plenty of talent and they don't need generic engineers from other countries.
2. H1B workers are not underpaid
3. Only reason tech companies praising H1B is because their hiring process is broken. They select arbitrary interview questions and determine competency based on them. This is total bs and they end up passing on super intelligent US citizens then make bs claim that there are not enough tech talent in the USA.
4. USA does need specialists but they would come on O-1 visa anyways so H1B is not in picture here.
