I think you miss the point of increasing the minimum salary. It isn't to bring over better people, it is essentially to make it so that it no longer makes economic sense to replace local workers with foreign ones.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoI'm not opposed to a minimum salary, I'm just saying that it's pointless when the market-determined salary to convince the Xth person to work in America is higher than the minimum (where X is the number of people we want to work in America through the H1-B program). Raise it if you want, but given the salary-based H1-B allocation, the salary minimum is the same thing as the quota.
