I hope that this passes but I would like to know what department issues the degree exemptions and reviews the “need.”. Because the Disney example was Bravo Sierra and should never have been issued.
Another abuse is that the visa ID not transferrable, so the worker is a slave. Again using the Disney as a hypothetical, if the worker is abused and wants to quit they are screwed, having to leave the country.

One less deportation, then. Works for me.
Any worker who doesn’t have the power to defend themselves against abuse shouldn’t be getting the H1-B anyway. That visa is supposed to be for people who possess enough skills to provide independent economic leverage, not a charity amnesty program for people who can’t get any other job here.
The H1B employee can change employers, but he/she must have a new employer apply to take over the sponsorship. They can do this without leaving the country. It is not easy, but if the worker is specially qualified, as they should be, there are employers who will take them on.
