The fact is that it has ALWAYS been difficult to break into this industry
(at least in the US). All you have to do is go to an online recruiting site
for college students or an IT cert site and read the posts from talented
college grads who are desperately looking for a break.

Yeah right. Most companies don't have a friggin idea how to judge talent.
In fact, there was an editorial written in Visual Studio magazine a couple
of months ago where the author mentioned that companies rarely hire the most
talented software developer! Companies hire H-1B workers for a variety of
reasons, however, talent is rarely on the top of their list of reasons why
they do so.
Why do you keep insisting that H-1B workers are immigrants? An H-1B worker's
chance of getting a green card is no better than anyone elses.
>>Here's also something else to think about. In times of plenty, developers

Can't argue with you there. During the late 1990's (Y2K, Euro conversion,
and Dot Con era) I believe there was a shortage of IT workers. That was
a one time shortage that has long since passed.
Question: Why do you think Silicon Valley companies hired so many H-1B workers
in the late 1990s?
Answer: Because many of these companies had no need for long-term workers.
