It's not a "win/win" if by that you mean something with no losers. As previously discussed, there are multiple losers -- pretty much everyone at or below their level on the career ladder loses, when they come in and create top-down downward pressure on incomes. Their source countries also lose with that poaching, since they invested in their education and then lose their productivity. Who wins? Well, the ownership class wins. One thing the ownership has traditionally been pretty bad at is suppressing the incomes of the upper-middle and lower-upper class. Even as the ownership class succeeded in stagnating wages for decades at the median level and below, they had to deal with the uppity strivers in that 70th-90th percentile range having some leverage to demand decent incomes, keeping the elite from pulling away from them as fast as the elite was able to pull away form the rest of the country. H1Bs are a solution to that "problem." It puts highly educated, high-skills American workers in their place, as far as the ownership class is concerned. It sends a message that they're fungible and if they demand even a small cut of America's increase in wealth, they'll simply be replaced by their off-brand foreign equivalents.
