"Need some new law to deport all these blood sucking H1Bs so Americans can have their jobs back."
It's not "their" jobs. The jobs belong to companies whom have the right to dice and slice and they please.
While I do agree that some changes on the laws should be made, we Americans need to change our way of thinking. Instead of us sitting on our asses waiting for "fairness" to deal with offshoring and outsourcing, we should be raising the bar on things we do.
Outsourcing and offshoring are nothing new. It has been going on for almost 2 decades, and yet, half a million developers have managed to stay ahead. Every one of us is going to lose a job that way. So plan ahead. Any person worth a damn has handled it and rebounded from it.

They just announced that that they are going to process 150 Green Cards this year for folks in FTL and Santa Clara. They say they cannot find talent. What a truck load of bull$...t that is?

"situation can just get better," BUHWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Oh wait, you were serious? Oh well. BUHWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
What a system.. this is completely rotten..
I wouldn't like to be in the h1b shoes as the environment you end up to be in - all enthusiastic because you are in the US - must be terrible.
It's a real pity, I was quite enthusiastic when a joined the company but I must say that Templeton left the company in a terrible state, bullish culture completely detached with modern industry standards.
The good side of it is that, in my humble view, situation can just get better, it looks like the worst is behind even thought there are a lot of dead woods around still, are you guys in the us still having redundancies?
2/2) where the money is made is by those with contacts with the staff agencies that bring the H1B candidates. These rackets have been going for a while. The staff agency gets a kick for any candidate that gets hired. And someone in the hiring company gets a kick back from the staff agency for ensuring its candidate got hired. Now, if those are the prevailing salaries for senior level positions at Citrix, then it is no longer that great of a company (as you can do better, even in the semi-squalid job market that exists in South Florida.)
1/2) Most of the salaries for senior software engineers in Ft. Lauderdale in that list are below the market rate. $95K or $90K, that might have been senior-level salary 10 years ago. Not anymore. So, yeah, Citrix might be saving money (in particular since those who got laid off were making better salaries.)
I don't know the US job market vert well, but salary wise these positions don't look bad. Are they really saving money like that?
