You don’t understand the economics of why business seek out H-1B visas. They do so because it is cheaper to hire them than to pay for Americans. REMOVE that incentive by mandating the median wage plus 10% and businesses loose the will to bring those workers in.

Sorry, but the law already has a “prevailing wage” requirement, but its a joke... I can hire an H1B legally for easily 40% less than I can an American, or even more in high dollar markets, and still remain in the letter of the law... Top it off that once I “sponsor” that person he’s a virtual slave to me and virtually can go nowhere else.

The H1B is a scam, the only solution to it is to abolish it.

YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WE HAVE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ALREADY UNEMPLOYED!

Get it now? You get rid of the damn visa programs — you don’t “fix” them. MEDIAN WAGE?!? These FQ#$#$@#$s cheat on reporting everything.

You can add whatever incentives you want— businesses have gotten accustomed to lying about H1B’s already with no consequences, so they’ll just lie more.
