H1Bs are indentured servants - paid sub-par wages and unable to negotiate for better or leave the employer they’re enslaved to.

If we want more skilled labor, raise the cap on regular visas.

That is a load of BS, unless you consider the $150,000 salaries some of the younger chemical scientists are making at various pharma cos. You thinkg Eli Lilly wants to pay six figures to someone who isn’t a citizen and might leave Indianapolis to go home? Much chaeper turnover to get an American kid—the problem is, there aren’t enough.

I had to get an H1-b visa for one of my employees - she happens to be a citizen of Canada but was educated in Texas. We had to prove she could speak English and we are required to pay her as much as everyone else. IT still took us over a year to get the visa. I would rather have highly skilled foreign labor here, paying taxes, than unskilled foreign labor, consuming taxes.
