But the choice is not between 20 low paid engineers vs 1 highly private sector employee.

The choice is instead between 20 low paid engineers and 20 high paid executives/engineers/employees.

This makes the answer to this choice much more clear.

Which comes back to location and industry discrimination, since higher pay is a function of these different factors.

Again, auctioning H1B with quotas doesn't solve a problem, it just creates new ones.
