IMHO you should have started a thread on the sweat shop your company runs with the help of temp agencies bringing in sub par labor that they pay poorly in exchange for an H1B while overcharging you. Good engineers don't work for temp agencies, especially in this economy. Top talent is hired straight into a top company that supports their H1B and hires and supports them for the long term.
If it wasn't for the constant influx of foreign talent, tech would be practically non-existent in this country ...

In my context, all of the visa'd workers would be educated in the US or europe. That is the real driver for education inequality for higher degrees.
Why would a US citizen stick around for a PHD degree when it pays 5% more and maybe even limits upward mobility. Lots of international students continue education because its there only means of staying.
Im far from xenophobic, Im a mutt myself, my wife is not a US citizen yet, Ive been lots of places, I work with a very diverse group of people (as many of us in the tech field do).
My conscience is clear with making some generalizations though. Everybody is very sensitive to PC issues these days but lets not make observation of statistical patterns an evil thing.
