When my company was looking for software engineer consultants (contracting positions), it worked with various recruiting agencies. For some strange reason — every single potential consultant we interviewed were either from India, Pakistan or the Philippines ( all on H1B visas ).

After 8 interviews, we eventually hired a Pakistani on H1B.

I can’t help but ask aloud — WHERE THE HECK ARE AMERICANS?

You weren't being given their resumes! They are being screened out; many recruiting agencies are currently run by foreign nationals with token American front people.

IT headhunters also have a strong bias against presenting anyone that is not currently working unless (1) they are a graduating student, or (2) they are a foriegn worker trying to break into the US market.

He’s right, you probably weren’t seeing the American resumes.
