I don't think "studied in the US" is a good abuse prevention measure. I know several H1-B visa holders who are exceptional developers, who came to the US straight after an undergrad in a foreign country. One way to prevent abuse is to put a cap on per-company H1-B quotas or have higher regulatory standards for companies that apply for a ton of them. Right now it is really easy for large consultancy companies from India to submit a ton of applications and send the folks who win the lottery over.
