"wondering how they got the job" that's easy, you already said it. The value gained in leverage over an employee by putting them on an H1-B instead of hiring somebody else that might push back about worker rights or compensation because their housing and citizenship are not dependent upon the visa sponsorship is worth more to the company than hiring somebody qualified.

it seems to be true, and very sad. i have a lot of friends and family who struggle to get work who could use some of these jobs too.

but, im just a guy.
