Hey there, now you've met one. My entire career as a software engineer (bachelor's and master's degrees in CS) was destroyed thanks to H1-B. So were the careers of a lot of other people I knew.
Oh, and after going back to school to learn another job, the only interview I got post-(another)-graduate degree was from a place that asked me just one question: "do you require a visa to remain in the U.S.?" That question could have cut either way, so I answered truthfully. Three months later, having heard nothing from them, I checked their website and they had a nice photo of the three shiny new fresh off the boat H1-B's they'd hired instead.
I ended up leaving the country and going to someplace that appreciated highly trained American workers.
