This is the standard bogeyman used by h1b haters (for lack of a better word). The median h1b wage for 2022 was ~95K [?] IIRC and h1b holders are usually at the top of salary tiers.

[?] Unfortunately don't have the source handy.

While it's true there are many unscrupulous actors in this space and fraud happens, need I mention the level of fraud in SS/Medicare/Medicaid, VA, DoD. I will save you the research it's orders of magnitude more.

Also a lot of good came out of the h1b. Just see the number of Indian-born CEOs, founders etc I'll bet most of them came on an h1b. There is universal agreement that h1b needs reform and needs a better filter, perhaps using a points system, so you are arguing a straw-man.

This knee-jerk "greedy company! cheap labor!" sloganeering is, in large part driven by the (almost entirely) WM techies' wage-gouging entitlement compounded by racism. Pure & simple.
