If, after all these years you had taken the time, before indulging in seriatim insults directed to me personally, to read what I wrote, you would have learned that I agree with virtually everything you said in your last reply.

I agree H1B visas have been criminally abused. My solution is the same as Donald Trump's, reform the system, retain those who have real contributions to make, bar those whose jobs can be done by Americans, end the exploitation of mid and lower level Indians.

Donald Trump believes $100,000 will do the trick. The solution, as I wrote, seems reasonable to me because it tends toward correcting the abuses in the next above paragraph while retaining the benefits of the system where it counts.

I disagree, in that I think the system should be abolished in toto.

See my prior post to you for some of the reasons why.

If it is kept, the surcharge should be $100k/applicant/year.
