A better plan would be give businesses some type of tax break for employing Americans citizens or place the h-1b visa holder in a higher tax bracket.

Forcing businesses to pay higher wages could end up in businesses just exporting the jobs to India and China. I would rather the jobs still remain in America.

Also I’m not a big fan on Goernerment telling business what they need to pay employees

"A better plan would be give businesses some type of tax break for employing Americans citizens"

An even better plan would be to give the tax break to the US STEM worker, NOT the business, because they will just channel the additional $$ to the bottom line, not the STEM employee

If you want to encourage US citizens to pursue STEM, then the workers should be completely free from paying Federal Income Taxes. Then if the offered salary is $60k/yr, it's tax free to the US Citizen worker and the company.
