Re: Issa bill would kill a big H-1B loophole
#2Seems like a pretty reasonable measure to increase the minimum salary to $100k since the original stated purpose of the H1B visa was to bring in extraordinary talent and expertise that couldn't possibly be found in the US. I can't imagine what any sincere, non self-serving arguments against it would be.

It seems an argument against this bill is that the salary limit should be more like $125K or $150K. That is to say the criticism is: this bill masquerades as a meaningful reform but won't have much actual impact.

#4IT companies would probably pay 100k on paper and ask 40k back from their employees. Laws like this don't stop companies who abuse the system.

And non-profits? Salary is not a measure of talent.

This happens with the current system already. They get found out and charged accordingly.

Non-profits don't have a quota cap.

>ask 40k back how?
You'd be surprised at length Indian companies go to win contract and employees to get a chance to get out of India. Its nothing short of slavery.
People in western world think 9 percent unemployment rate is high; Now just think about close to 80 percent unemployment rate in chosen field of study. In such environment competition is so intense to get and hold a job, employees would do anything that companies tell them to. Including passing the 40% salary back to company under the table.
