The implied “problem” is that these companies are loopholing the H1-B process to hire for positions that American workers were laid off from. Of course, lawyers know how to make things work.

Is this true? My observation at Google has been that very few teams had layoffs and now have open headcount. The teams that are hiring aren't the ones that had people fired.

The H1b requirement is the loophole to prevent americans from hiring non-americans. A world without loopholes is a world without H1Bs.
