If there was a real talent shortage and a real Visa need, then we would allow H1-B's to self sponsor. Let the company elicit one visa and employee, and have the Fed gov garnish 5-10k over the first year from the employees' wages. After that he/shes a free man/woman to look where they choose. Stay employed, stay out of trouble, and pay another 5-10k and get an additional 3 years. The visa is tied to the person, which is the way it should be. That's a semi compromise, but I still would keep the # capped at < 100k new per year.
