The H-1B visa program sucks for everyone who doesn't own a business. H-1B workers get paid less, can't move jobs, can't collectively bargain and have to do anything their employer wants them to do or get deported. I have a friend on an H-1B and his wife is also on an H-1B, but their companies don't allow them to move so they have to live apart. For domestic workers, it increases competition in a brutal job market and reduces collective bargaining (H-1B workers usually scab because they have no other option) and depresses wages. The only party who benefits are CEOs because they can get (and coerce) capable labor for cheap.
