[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But if they are interested in real reform, I propose the following.

For both H-1B and green cards, replace the current prevailing wage requirement by a policy in which applications are approved in order of offered salary. This addresses the cheap, mediocre-quality labor issue in a clean (if broad-stroked) manner. It also to a large extent attains our goal of targeting “the best and the brightest.” For example, Stanford computer-science graduates enjoyed starting salaries that were 37 percent higher than average in 2009-2010, according to the school. A more refined version of this policy could rank on the ratio of offered salary to the occupational/regional median, so as to attain quality among less expensive occupations and regions.

Make green card issuance immediate after approval, instead of waiting in a queue for years. This addresses the de facto indentured servitude issue, and also solves the problem of queues based on country caps.

Establish an open, national online registry for jobs that employers propose to fill with H-1Bs or green card applicants. Use would be advisory for H-1B, mandatory for green cards and H-1B-dependent employers. Placing newspaper ads as a way of giving public notice is downright silly in today’s Internet Age. An online registry is the efficient, effective way to handle the recruitment requirement.

Liberalize the National Interest Waiver, under which outstanding talents can apply for a green card without employer sponsorship. Do the same for the O-1 work visa, which again involves exceptionally talented workers. The industry lobbyists greatly exaggerate the number of foreign workers who are “the best and the brightest,” but some are indeed top-flight. Our nation benefits enormously from them, so targeted measures are vital.

Require that an employer justify a job requirement of an advanced degree. Very few tech jobs truly require a master’s or doctoral degree. Just look at all the major notables in the field who lack such a degree, such as Larry Ellison and Jensen Huang, or who have no degree at all, such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Since international students who work in tech largely have a master’s, setting a requirement of that degree is a common method of rejecting US workers.
