which college leaves students in the most debt?

You have got that right. This country has allowed H1B visa holders to take large numbers of these jobs. The intention of that visa was to bring in specialists that could not be found locally. Instead, they have brought in people to take the jobs of the highly skilled and employed US citizens.

I am sent many ads weekly that say they are open to H1B visa holders, despite the fact that there are Americans with the requisite skills that can't find work.

In my area at least, it has to do with the shortage of experienced health care workers. If someone has 5 years of US experience in nursing and a spotless record, there's no reason to give the job to someone with no experience, less experience, or a spotty employment history. This happens all the time here.

Also, the commonly-held misconception is that H1B visa holders are somehow transient and will "go back" at some point. My MIL works with a couple that is originally from China. They came to the US, became nurses and had their family here. Ultimately, they became citizens, but the process takes near-forever with no guarantees of citizenship. They've been here like thirty years now.

It also reminds me of my friend who is from New Zealand. Last year, she went to get her car tag renewed and was yelled at about "dangerous illegals" who want to "take her job" by some wanna-be congressman. This is funny to me, because at the time she was "illegal" because of a paperwork delay. But being a beautiful white woman, she doesn't fit the profile of the mythological "dangerous illegal who steals jobs!" They actually won't give her a work visa per se because there are so many americans who need the jobs more. So instead she's became a successful artist in her own right and sells her work herself (which they've allowed).
