I’m not advocating it, I’m simply stating the current market in which US tech companies, especially, compete.

I think it is right to at least require true salary parity for H1-B’s brought into the market.

Otherwise, US tech workers ought to just get off their duffs, as any good employee with good skills in the most in-demand programming languages can command a six-figure salary. It’s out there for them, if they’re willing to retool.

I think it is right to at least require true salary parity for H1-B’s brought into the market.

I agree - which is not how it works now:

H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Replace Americans with Cheap Foreign Workers
H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Pay Foreign Workers Extremely Low Wages

[null and void]

In Japan, their equivalent of H-1Bs are, by law, paid 25% MORE than the prevailing wage.

If a foreigner clearly has skills that no available native has, and a company needs those skills to survive, then that company should be willing to pay a premium for those skills.

Do you agree or disagree?

That might work for the top 20%. The rest are screwed - there just are not THAT many of those 6 figure jobs available.
