Actually, H1B visas do harm Americans.
New H-1B bill will 'help destroy' U.S. tech workforce
New Data Show How Firms Like Infosys and Tata Abuse the H-1B Program
Lower wages
The principal reason that firms use H-1Bs to replace American workers is because H-1B nonimmigrant workers are much cheaper than locally recruited and hired U.S. workers. As Table 1 shows, Infosys and Tata pay very low wages to their H-1B workers. The average wage for an H-1B employee at Infosys in FY13 was $70,882 and for Tata it was $65,565. Compare this to the average wage of a Computer Systems Analyst in Rosemead, CA (where SCE is located), which is $91,990 (according to the U.S. Department of Labor). That means Infosys and Tata save well over $20,000 per worker per year, by hiring an H-1B instead of a local U.S. worker earning the average wage. But at SCE specifically, the wage savings are much greater. SCE recently commissioned a consulting firm, Aon-Hewitt, to conduct a compensation study, which showed that SCE’s IT specialists were earning an average annual base pay of $110,446. That means Tata and Infosys are getting a 36 to 41 percent savings on labor costs—or saving about $40,000 to $45,000 per worker per year.
They aren't bringing people in that are more skilled. There is no shortage in the US. That myth was debunked several years ago.
Incidently this is why it is absolutely necessary to keep Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, and whites divided. So, we can all fight over the scraps at the bottom.
SO what does all of this have to do with Black Republicans? If you have a need for further discussion on this topic try one of these threads:

I don't need those threads. I have posted in many. But, yeah it has everything to do with it.

I didn't know Bill Gates was a Black Republican. He must be for you to be referencing him here in this op!
You're embarrassed. I understand. It happens.
I am only embarrassed by being seen conversing with a silly neophyte like you.
