Minorities and women are a protected class under US law- their lower wages are due to previous conditions in the US that the citizens of that country have decided to remedy.

Discrimination against skilled foreign workers is not illegal- in fact laws like H1-B require a certain amount of discrimination.

To compare the situation of H1-Bs to women or blacks or even illegal immigration is at best being willfully ignorant of US history and custom. Get back to me when H1-Bs are forced to pick cotton for a couple generations.
