First of all, we need to get facts correct. They didn't lay off one year and increase H1b the next year. They had a total approval of 299 visas in 2019.

Second, let's take a hypothetical situation. Let's Uber has a US citizen who is a poor performer, and a H1 employee who is a rock star. Let's say both make $300K. Are you suggesting that Uber should layoff the rockstar first simply based on national origin ?
