Here's an idea, what if the funds that go towards H1-B visas were parceled out towards training domestic workforces of the future.
There is a systemic flaw in this analysis (both the author's and PG's) in that we're comparing short vs long term solutions and problems and blending them together as if they were one.
- winter_blue 12y agoIt's funny that you mention that because it's being done already. With every work visa application, a company with more than 50 employees has to pay $1500 towards the training of US workers, and companies with less than 50 employees have to pay $750. It's called the ACWIA fee. It was introduced by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA).

- brianbreslin 12y agoAh I had no idea. Thanks!
- zodiac 12y agoIf by "funds towards H1B visas" you include salary paid to the H1B employees, most employers would refuse to do this.
- brianbreslin 12y agono i mean the fees paid to the government for the visas. employee salaries shouldn't go towards training of other future employees.
