My direct experience hiring 30 or so roles in the Bay Area during zirp era is anyone needing a visa is deprioritized. 

They have to be extra ordinarily good to get an interview and perform very well to get an offer because the process is slow, expensive and unpredictable.

Good tech companies actually have (had?) a shortage of good people.

Maybe it’s different across mid tier companies in the USA. There are definitely very sus shell companies like infosys, cognizant, and tata. But I don’t think it’s binary at all.

I continue to think there’s a fairly titanic gap between the tech industry (as broadly understood) and someone in Columbus working as Network Administrator I at a mortgage company.

Often they end up talking past each other and/or assuming away existence of the other side.
