You mean single, unemployed, qualified American who really wants that job. There are probably thousands of Americans that can take up that job but don't want to because they don't want to move or like their current job or don't like that company, etc.
Or they can't take up that job because they don't have the credentials because they didn't pursue education in the field because education in America is expensive, and there is no market incentive to do so because everyone knows that the positions that do exist are quickly filled with low-to-median wage hires with overseas credentials, which is circularly justified by a perennial shortage of qualified American candidates, somehow, despite a population of 330M.
Even in legitimate cases of difficult to find specialty labor, programs like H-1B should be sparingly applied because they jam the market signaling mechanisms that create qualified candidates in the first place.
