Giving out visas based on salary will expose the system as the unfair and useless system that it is.<p>Suppose we raise the minimum salary to say 120k&#x2F;yr, or if we use the salary to determine the order, what this will signal is that the more you are paid the more you are needed. And since this visa is for the best and brightest we will see that, hey, my manager&#x2F;dentist&#x2F;lawyer&#x2F;doctor makes double what I make, that would indicate to me that we need more of those best and brightest from around the world.<p>But that&#x27;s not what this is, there is no shortage that we need to address. We educate and train plenty of American citizens to fill these rolls. It is corporate welfare that the government is all to willing to play along with.
