In many ways, I like the idea of setting a high minimum salary. It's a simple approach, but complex regulations often just produce elaborate ways to exploit loopholes. And honestly, the higher the salary, the less I worry that the visa is being misused. 100k still seems a bit low. I think Ted Cruz suggested 110k. That's still below the average salary for an applications developer in SF or San Jose. I'd go higher, though I do think that 110k would do some good - it would have no effect whatsoever on the use of the H1b to bring in the truly talented, and it would probably deter some of Disney/Edison style abuses.
