[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way to fix H1Bs is simple: raise the minimum salary to reflect that you are hiring people with rare talents and skills. H1Bs should have very high salaries.

Another improvement would be to expand it to all fields. Why do we single computer programmers out for this abuse and not lawyers? Actually, we know why--most politicians are lawyers. [/quote]

This was going to be implemented in 2021 but democrats / Biden nixed it.  You know that mythical party that supposedly helps US workers makes it easier to replace US workers.

The lone requirement for “H-1B dependent employers” to first recruit Americans is bypassed by a loophole that allows these companies to pay their foreign workers $60,000 a year instead of seeking out Americans. Based on the high cost of living in areas where most H-1B employers are located and the average experience level of the foreign workers, that $60,000 salary is significantly lower than what a true market wage would command.

H1B is ONLY about hiring cheap , disposable workers. It has NOTHING to do with best and brightest.

The law needs to require that aliens be paid 150% of the normal wage for any of these jobs. a measure like this was adopted in Australia and it pretty much killed the desire for an alien workforce.
