> Our country can hold the world's population of high skill individuals seeking H1B status. It certainly can hold the number of individuals companies would seek to fill those roles (assuming salary is adjusted such that they'll not abuse the system). We've reached a point where our opinions simply differ. I don't think our country can hold nearly as many people as you say, nor do I think it should. I'd rather help our existing population of high skill individuals get jobs, train up everybody else to see how many more people reach a high level of skill, and then if we really do find ourselves short of labor, slowly open up to people from abroad.
