Thanks for this post.  It explains a lot.<p>Unfortunately, if the changes you propose are implemented then that means a lot of H1Bs will lose their jobs.<p>Like it or not, the value proposition for employers is that H1Bs are cheaper and more dependent.  Remove those two factors and US companies will just hire currently unemployed US workers.<p>This is fine for everyone except the H1B workers, so while you plan is well-meaning in its intent not to blame H1Bs it would have the effect massive job losses for them!
