H-1Bs are still stuck to their employers. They often sign agreements that subject them to huge fees if they quit the company before the end of the contract. It could also set back their attempts at getting a Green Card.
It makes little difference to the Americans that are systematically being replaced by H-1Bs whether they can change jobs or not.
Your statement that companies have little incentive to hire H-1Bs belittle the facts, since they are hiring them in huge numbers. The Dept. of Labor reports that the upper limit for H-1B visas to be issued may be reached in September.Currently their are over 600,000 H-1Bs employed in the US.
