U.S. needs more brainiac immigrants, so let's boost H1B visas
TL;DR Microsoft founder Bill Gates has testified that every H1B immigrant his firm recruits, translates into about five additional American workers being hired. https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2019/04/19/stephen-moore-us-needs-brainiac-immigrants-boost-h1b-visas

They need to up the base salary limit to at least 150K / we do need actual talent and that’s always helpful but there is a lot of H1-B abuse
Setting a base salary limit bars out H1Bs in other fields like science or medical
What company pays about 150k base for new grads ? What a ridiculous number.
Many people hate consulting companies like TCS, Infosys. The reason is they hire people for less pay. But infosys has committed to generate 10000 jobs to Americans by 2021 and they did hire about 50% now. So are many consulting companies doing that, so that's a lot of job creation for American citizens. Goal of any company is profits. Companies always try to bring the cost down by cutting resources, no matter whether it's a consulting or a big product based company. So, big consulting companies like Infosys, TCS are also doing good to US a lot in terms of economy and employment generation. The only issue that needs to be fixed with h1bs is with small consulting companies those fake their resumes to get the contracting jobs. This makes the qualified person to lose their jobs to some under qualified people.
Would have generated more jobs if we shut them down. The companies that hired consultants would have instead hired h1b directly.
Send them back.

We need more coming in to companies like Microsoft and none coming to the consulting WITCHes
Agreed
Ok folks, in case you didn't know, all faang companies employ these companies. If they hired themselves as full time employees, these folks would cost a lot for them. This is why you will NEVER see any of faang companies ever come out in public against witch companies (for a good reason - if I were setting policy I won't too!). To say we need more coming to these companies is not realizing the scope of the actual problem.
