In Silicon Valley? I've observed that the H-1Bs in Silicon Valley are extraordinarily high skill while the Infosys bodyshoppers are out in Des Moines and Cleveland.

I have. Worked at a large networking company that is rampant w/ low-skilled H-1Bs IMO.

Agree 100%. A handful are awesome. Many are doing software for the wrong reasons and most are generating mountains of shit code.

(I know nothing about this topic but) Wouldn't that also be true of the general US population, and programmers in other countries? and etc...

The difference is that software isn't such a unique get out of poverty ticket in rich countries. People in rich countries who are ambitious and no good at development and / or don't care about it can just do something else to earn a good living.
To counter your anecdote, I've worked with countless H1-B's over the years, and while a handful have been awesome most of them are absolutely terrible.
