I do not typically post, but these suggestions seem like genuine improvements to the existing system:<p>"Kerr suggests allocating H-1Bs not by lottery as they are now, but by salary — the more that a company is willing to pay for a foreign worker, the quicker they can get a visa."<p>"A second change would be to allow H-1B workers to apply for permanent residency green cards on their own, without having to be sponsored by their employers."<p>Both of these would ensure that we can get smart and talented individuals from outside the US and would drastically improve the ability for the US to compete while continuing to provide broad-based wage increases.
