This is not. As with anything in the Trump admin, this is not well thought out and just focused on election based xenophobic messaging. The people who can game the system, can easily do that. However, many people who really benefit from H1B will be shafted. For example, doctors and nurses in rural areas. H1 also is a path for many engineers, doctors, and phds to enter the workforce. With blanket higher salary requirements, it will just deny a path to the job market for many international students graduating from Ivy league universities. Also, this benefits FAANGs, and if you are a startup looking to hire someone on H1B, forget about it.
