How can he say he didn't displace an American who would otherwise have gotten the job? Or that he didn't help his company outcompete another one, causing them to lay off Americans?

Because, again, as he said, he came during an enormous boom. Following relaxation of regulations, Wall Street was hiring every developer it could find, and there just were not that many around at the time. It's not reasonable to compare 80's Wall Street with modern, recession-hampered America.
