If Indian outsourcing firms really are depressing wages significantly, I don't really care, techies earn plenty anyways.

Lower-level IT work (support desk, customer service, junior QAs etc.) do not make "plenty", at least compared to their counterparts in software development, architecture, etc.

These are a) the type of jobs that the H1B visa was not designed for as they are not high-skill or rare, b) the types of jobs that are frequently outsourced to Tata Consulting, Infosys, or other H1B factories and c) the exact type of job that lower-education Americans could easily be trained to do.

I support significant reform to the H1B program - at the very least I want minimum wage for it doubled (currently at 60K). The H1B should be costly for an employer, not a cost-saver. And cap the number a particular company can get.

The bi-partisan consensus not only in favor of the program itself, but actually expanding it, is probably Exhibit A in the "Both Parties Have Abandoned The American Worker".
