Tech companie use the H-1B visa program at a time of mass layoffs
What I would like to see for the H-1B program:<p>* No more points, education requirements, etc. Application acceptance is sorted by total-comp for a minimum 2 year contract, highest wins. Bar is set at the 90th percentile, no more quotas.<p>* Once they are in, from day 1 they can leave their contract at any time, and they have 1 year to find any job that has at least 80% of the total comp. New company has no paperwork to file.<p>* No more country based green card quotas or backlogs. If they&#x27;ve been in the US in good standing for N years, they get the card.<p>This system would mean that employers actually have to provide great working conditions and compensation to H-1B&#x27;s, which preserves the working conditions for local workers. It removes the &quot;2nd class&quot; treatment of what are very valuable additions to the country.
