It is questionable if US has the education system or people capital to support all the science based sectors it has IMO.

"Immigrants doing a very large portion of tech work can't be just because they get paid less"

It is solely about that. Remember, immigrants didn't really play a role in the US tech industry for half of its existence and didn't play a major role until a decade ago. This is despite the fact that US colleges openly and actively discriminate against US citizens for grad school spots for 2 or 3 decades now.
