Immigrants are also under way more pressure than citizens. Doesn't that you get the same salary when you're expected to do 10h extra per week

It really depends on the company. I'm an immigrant myself - I was on an E3 work visa for six years, then got a green card. For me, workload and expectations weren't any different to a US citizen, and that's the case at my employer in general.

I plan projects for and and delegate work to junior employees, and I don't know or care if they're on a work visa or not. I've been in calibration meetings (to handle ratings and promotions) and the person's visa status is never discussed.
