It's sad that the focus is on just ripping down the program. Right now the thing is a huge bureaucracy which costs tons of lawyer time as well as employee time.

Raise the minimum H1B wage to $110k, index it to CPI, and the problem will basically go away overnight. I'd also advocate that we allow companies to convert their existing H1Bs to green-card holders after 3 years, in exchange for getting a new H1B. This would effectively raise the cap while increasing mobility among immigrants working under the program.
