I’m not familiar with the US visa rules, but aren’t companies supposed to demonstrate that they can’t source talent domestically before bringing people in on visas? This seems odd and damaging to the US economy. And I say this as a non-US person
No worries. If this thread has proven anything, that would be that not even Americans know, but they sure love a good flame bait.
Jokes aside, what you just said is absolutely correct and it is indeed how it works in the US. I'm an immigrant myself, and that was part of the process. Most people complaining about how this "hurts" Americans, are, unknowingly I hope, echoing the same xenophobic slogans we have been hearing for a couple decades now.
