Only 30% of tech workers in Silicon Valley are Americans? I'd say there was an imbalance there that should be addressed.

I believe that's a debunked stat. 30% might be native born, but that doesn't account for foreign-born U.S. citizens, even ones that grew up in the U.S.

Yeah that REALLY caught my eye; in the context I read it as "citizens and nationals of the US" (when they say "Americans"). Even is SJ is cherry picked, it is a big employment center and that number is shocking. The implication being that visa-holders are getting the majority of jobs.

If it is based on country of birth I'm way less impressed.

Where did that number even come from? Country of birth isn't something companies usually collect.

57% of tech workers in SF are foreign-born (https://www.theatlas.com/charts/SkTkDFUHb).

keep in mind that 57% does not mean 57% are on H1B. This dataset does not show the percentage of permanent residents.
