Problem: Indentured servitude of H1B visa holders
Solution: Make any sort of "lock-in" illegal. No fees paid to employment agencies, no penalties for leaving early, no posting bonds, no contractual periods of work. Anything that keeps an H1B locked to a particular employer should be illegal.
Problem: Getting brightest engineers without causing wage suppression
Solution: Leave the cap where it is for now and bid for H1B talent so market forces can work. If the lowest bid is over say, $100K, maybe consider raising the cap.
Engineers are the raw material for tech companies and naturally, they'd like to keep their costs low. This has nothing to due with "keeping America competitive" and everything to do with sharing less of the value created with the engineers who created it in the first place.
