[quote=Anonymous]I’m against blanket elimination of the H1B program without a plan of modification.  It is one of the only ways to bring educated self supporting people into the country legally.  It used to be about 85,000 people annually which is a drop in the bucket compared to the millions (!) of mainly uneducated and support needing people who’ve crossed the border annually (and stayed) over the same last two decades alone. However, an overhaul of legal immigration is desperately needed.

For many years it used to be that the H1B visa allotment was about equal to the number of applications by a few thousand.   About 10 years ago the number of applications began to sky rocket. Recently it was 750K.  I believe one reason is the population explosion in India (projected 2 billion soon - more than the Americas and Europe combined).  Two decades ago India already had entire graduate schools focused on getting their whole graduating class into the United States.  No plans for a career in India at all - only those who failed the process.  The schools advertised with the rates of success.  I can only imagine this mindset has intensified with the population growth. [/quote]
