Gotta keep those bloated California real estate prices propped-up.

According to this calculation:
Today’s Letter
the treasury loses about $5000 per H1b per year. So why not charge $10,000 per year ($60,000) per visa (instead of $3685)? The extra revenue would help offset some of the additional costs/risks associated with adding more immigrants. Also, companies would have an incentive to chose candidates more carefully (and pay them more).
In addition, the US should institute some serious tax breaks for citizens in industries affected by outsourcing and/or visas.
