> Where has Powell said anything about immigration

He did mention that lack of labor supply is driving up wages.

> people on H1B are paid more than the prevailing wage for a metropolitan region

Because H1B visas are generally only issued to high skilled professionals? Sure. a software engineer on H1B is probably gonna earn more than the waiter or cashier in the shop downstairs. Are they gonna earn more than their colleagues who are citizens/permanent residents? Obviously not...
