Why is there a lottery anyway instead of a salary ranking/salary threshold system? This'd disincentivize bad actors, ensure the US domestic labor pool is not undercut, and (more or less) lead to higher quality H-1B immigrants.

A salary ranking scheme would cut most professions out.

Because regions and industries that pay less would be mad, and they’ve got lots of congressmen.
For software jobs.
Why is there a demand that can drive abuse. When there are so many people that can't find jobs?
It seems like right now there should not be enough demand for H1-b (for software) to justify abuse. Like it shouldn't be profitable enough.

Why is it suddenly called fraud and abuse when the "immigrants are taking our jobs" but from the upper middle class?
Personally, I’m all for America bringing in talented foreign nationals. But the H1B process is bad for foreigners looking to work in the US who get way underpaid and don’t have easy options to work at a different firm. And bad for American workers who have to compete against underpaid wages.
Given that the point of the program is to bring in talent unavailable, it’s become a farce. I think companies hiring H1B’s at below market wages probably think they’re getting a bargain. But I doubt that most of them - maybe other than FAANG - are getting good talent at lowball wages.
It’s a bad program all around.
Terrible for America. And terrible for India.
