Just for perspective here, I'm currently an H1-B holder at a "unicorn" tech company.
I did not have multiple H1-B applications, I was educated in the US, and I got very very lucky in getting the lottery. I'm paid the same as my coworkers on my team, I do not have to work longer hours than them, and for all intents and purposes I am treated equally by my peers or management (not skipped on promotions, raises etc).
So to speak, I work in the category of companies that do not abuse the H1-B system, and uses it to find the right candidates (We've been looking for someone to add to our team for 1 year at this point, and we can't find anyone, american or not).
That said, even though I might benefit from this, I am still worried personally as the devil will be in the details, and these things have a tendency to have unintended consequences. Furthermore, I'm in the very early stages of postulating for a green card, and what the future of that process may entail also keeps me up at night. I really hope I will not have to pack up my things and be forced to leave at any moment.
