To some extent I think that's a good thing. It was depressing wages in the tech sector. Companies were hiring tech workers on H-1B visas because those workers would work cheaper than U.S. citizens. There was no real shortage of labor in that sector, just a shortage of people willing to work for peanuts. H-1Bs are in a position to be exploited because if the company fires them, they have to leave the country.
