Of the 85,000 visas allotted, just how many of them do you think had a US/UK hold bachelors and advanced degrees??
A least 20,000. Each year 20,000 workers with advanced US degrees are put in a special pool; the excess is then put into the regular pool of 65,000. I'm sure there are many more. All H-1B workers I know personally have US degrees and started working here after graduating from US colleges and grad schools. They are some of the smartest people I know and should be allowed to stay and become US citizens.
And publicly calling for an investigation makes them look like they care about America while in the halls of Congress they are increasing the visas.
There have been recent years when the current quota wasn't met. I call for better administration and monitoring of the program. If we can eliminate the abuse, a cap may not even be needed.

Meanwhile unskilled workers are facing stiffer competition for jobs but who cares?
That is because everyone looks down at ditch diggers and day laborers besides themselves and maybe their families. That and the buzzword for workers is knowledge workers who add value. The unskilled workers on the larger part don't add value. Because of these two things, hardly anyone cares.

Congress seems to care.
Outside of the green card and H1-B Visa, USCIS issued 7.4 million work permits (2009-2014) to immigrants here for various reasons..refugees, tourists, students, illegal aliens, etc.
Foreign tourists and foreign students used the bulk of those work permits.
I can't take seriously anybody that uses absolute, blanket statements like this.
