While this is a step, it's in the wrong direction. Companies should focus on finding quality US personnel first. Let's look at how the process works. A company advertises, in this case I chose to use Monster and looked for "SQL 2012" and found a company that's looking for someone with 5 years experience using SQL Server 2008. That "requirement" is impossible, so HR and management will bypass all applicants since they're "not qualified". The next company down wanted 2 years of SQL Server 2012. Again, an impossibility. The companies will whine to politicians that they can't find anyone that meets their requirements. The politicians will do some grandstanding about how quality tech personnel are scarce and next will be the flood of personnel driving down salaries even worse than they already are. Developer salaries have been stagnant since the dotcom bust 10 years ago. The best solution is eliminate H1B and utilize the people who are unemployed.
