The H-1B visa program should be ended entirely. Its major purpose is to drive down wages of (mostly) tech workers and has nothing to do with talent. If this were not true, why would companies only post job ads in newspapers no one reads, or on the doors of offices of their campuses (rather than the internet)¹?

It’s a scam, a fraud, and should not exist. I agree with Amanda Goodall, though — ending it will just mean more jobs sent overseas. To complement the elimination of the H-1B scam, any American company that sends a job overseas (or is doing work on American account overseas) should pay a 500% yearly tax on that job.

That would pretty much end that.

1. This is done so they can claim they looked really really hard, but darnit, they just could not find an American for the role.
