It would be hypocrisy if after taking advantage of the system, I sought to change it, and lock other people out. Just because you live somewhere does not mean you are in 100% moral agreement with how every aspect of that place is ran.

I think you're missing the lede. To summarize:

1. Most Americans are settlers. They, or their ancestors, were immigrants.

2. Most of them, or their ancestors, immigrated when the rules for doing so were far more lax.

3. Some of them now seek to change the rules.

There's an argument that can be made that wage suppression is bad. Great. When I provide examples when wage suppression isn't happening, I'm told that's not the problem - apparently immigration in itself is bad (Because more people living here will suppress wages). See - points 1 and 2.

"You being here ruins it for everyone else, context be damned" is not quite discussing H1B on its merits - especially when that's an argument made by a fellow settler.
