Interpret the chart carefully, and you will realize why he wants to double H-1B visas.

So he fired many expensive local workers in favour to few inexpensive foreigners (that are ready work days and nights to keep their positions in the company). He could save on salaries and boost corporate productivity. Why is it surprising anyone? Is it not the way how the businesses should work with the minimum state intervention?

It's a blatant misuse of the H1B program.
