The visa is meant to give highly talented people an opportunity to fulfill their potential by participating in the US economy, while also benefiting America. Sadly it has been aggressively abused by some companies to bring cheap labor into the US, actually undermining the local skilled labor system (eg why bother training Americans). H1-B does indeed need reform, and that does mean an end to the 'good old days' (good for who, though). All IMHO - I'm not even American, or Indian.
