I have no problem with US companies bringing over superstars and people who have valuable job skills that are really needed and who are actually in short supply. That's why for a long time I proposed a big fee for H1Bs very similar to what he actually did. If the person is truly that valuable, an American company will pay it. $100K over 3 years is frankly, not that much for someone who can add real value. But that is probably going to be enough to price the cheap labor out of the market - which is what we want....no more undercutting American workers' wages and stealing especially entry level jobs from Young Americans.

Between the 750,000 H1b Indians and the further 750,000 Indian illegal aliens in the country, we've got a whole bunch of Indians to ship back. BTW....Indians sure haven't helped themselves by voting overwhelmingly Democrat.

BTW...it was not always so. My best friend's family is Indian though he was born in the US. His dad (now retired) was a surgeon and came over to the US over 50 years ago...back in the days when you had to prove you would never be a burden to society, could speak English, etc etc....ie back when we had a sane and reasonable immigration policy. His whole family is as Conservative as I am. That changed when they started the H1B program and they started bringing over hordes Tech workers. They aligned with Democrats. Earlier Indian legal immigrants had been professionals and people who started businesses. They were pretty Conservative.
