The solution is to either (a) terminate the H1-B visa program, or (b) impose a fee on employers for each H1-B they sponsor so the cost of these employees is higher than a US employee would be. It’s an easy fix - remove the financial incentive for companies to try to game H1-B and it can be restored to its stated purpose. If it’s not economical to hire an H1-B, companies will only apply for H1-B for special cases involving a few stars in their field.
Bingo!

That will address the issue somewhat.
But With high speed internet, the cloud and networks, people can do the job remotely from ANYWHERE.
I worked at a company that develops products for the airline/airport industry… we’ve been doing this for years!
H1-B visa program should be terminated with prejudice, and the aliens present in these USA on it should be deported. It’s designed for fraud and deception and therefore unreformable.
“If it’s not economical to hire an H1-B, companies will only apply for H1-B for special cases involving a few stars in their field.”
Right. Make it unprofitable for companies to hire more than a select few H-1B visa applicants ... vs. the plethora they’re hiring now. Consider the penalty fee another version of a Trump tariff.
