The majority of Americans are letting H-1B's take their jobs? The "majority
of Americans" would be over half of working Americans, or about 100 million
people, give or take several tens of millions. There are only about 600,000
H-1B's. Therefore, it is not mathematically possible for H-1B's to take jobs
away from the majority of Americans. Working Americans outnumber H-1B's
several times over (even in IT, and even in programming). Geez, no wonder
you don't understand it, you can't even do simple math.
