This is probably the most common way.
North American Van Lines just tried to pull this stunt on thier IT staff.
They were unable to get away with it, but they still found a way to stick it to them.
They "sold" the company, fired everyone and rehired some at the "new" company at lower rates, less benefits and they lost thier retirement.
This happened under a very thinly veiled threat to replace them with H1B's.  So some of them are just happy to not have joined the massive ranks of the unemployed IT workers.

In an example of H1B indirectly taking jobs, I've seen the case where the
company toasts its IT staff in favor of a third party software/outsource
agreement, and the third party's  workers were damn near all H1B folks.
