> Ban it It's not "banned", the proposal is to temporarily suspend it. When it is resumed, however, I would ask that they put a lower bound on the wages paid. Say, $100K for programmers - the "real" middle class living wage where I live. That will reduce abuse significantly. To reduce it even further, switch to the auction system, where a fixed size quota is allocated, and employers "bid" salaries for workers. I do have skin in this game: I'm paid a lot, and this will create more competition for me, but it will improve the ridiculous situation where people get into debt to get degrees and then can't find jobs. Why anyone in the US be against this is a mystery to me.
