Honestly, I can understand that ... I think for anyone to say NO H1B VISAS is unrealistic and a lie.
The mass import of any level skill H1B to replace American workers though should be reputed. Amend the visa to reflect pay and benefits will be the same as the displaced worker.
But.
What will happen is the companies that want cheap labor will just offshore altogether if possible. Or move entirely. Tough situation.
To be fair, every profession should have large H-1B quotas. Especially one for what ever it is you do for a living.
