"87 percent of current H-1B holders are paid wages in the bottom third"
I'm going to call bogus on this. The law requires H1B holders to be paid the prevailing market wage, or more, for their profession/experience level. The fact that he's referencing Trump's election platform, and doesn't offer any other evidence of this, doesn't give me any confidence whatsoever.
I'd also like to issue a challenge to anyone who claims that the H1B system we currently have is bad: Please propose an alternate form of immigration system. Please also specify details regarding
1) How many immigrants should be allowed into the country every year
2) How the above number of immigrants should be selected, amongst all potential applicants.
