I'm seeing like 80% of software dev applications at my company are H1B/OPT, like thousands of candidates - and they're getting hired just because of the sheer numbers they drown everyone else out. So yes, they are 100% taking jobs. A lot of them. I can't comprehend how there are so many.

Maybe there is some pool of candidates that applies to all jobs due to automation making the numbers scewed?

Yep, they are 100% doing that and it’s working. The people only applying selectively are being drowned out.
