And that it seems absurd for places like Facebook to say that when they reject so many applications from talented developers.

It isn't absurd at all. Facebook is one of the companies doing this the right way. Facebook interviews H1-B candidates in exactly the same way it interviews American citizens, and they pay the same to H1-Bs and American citizens in the same role. When they reject an American candidate, it's because they don't think that candidate is sufficiently skilled, not because they want to hire a foreigner with the same skills for cheaper.

If Facebook loses any candidates in this general pool because they were outbid by other companies, then they could have filled the slot by paying an American more than the H1-B.

No it fucking does not. I interviewed with facebook ten days ago. Management cancelled my phone screen and instead I got a generic interview with a foreign manager "where do you see yourself in five years" followed by a reject within 12 hours.

Stop the fucking bullshit goddammit.
