A someone who has just applied for an H1-B with a tech start-up, it is really not that simple. Modern countries need medium- to long-term visa programs for specialised foreign workers. Whether it is always used to for that purpose I questionable. But in many cases - including mine - the jobs are very well-payed, in no way exploitative and do add real value for the American people and economy. Many aspects of the H1-B suck. The same is true for their European and Asian counterparts. Just eliminating non-immigration visas would not solve the problem in a highly-integrated world-wide economy - it would make things worse.
