One great result of President Trump's election is fewer RINOs ardently supporting H1B. We must continue to call out RINO support of H1B scam!
I'd like to see a requirement for every H1B worker's diploma and work history in their country of origin to be verified by an independent agency. Otherwise I will continue to doubt every H1B college degree.

I watched most of the interview with Mark Zuckerberg. NOT ONE committee member, across the political spectrum, asked him about using H1B workers instead of qualified US citizens to fill jobs. It should've come up, since Zuckerberg used as an excuse for FB's bad decisions was that his San Francisco-based reviewers weren't completely in tune with US expectations in freedom of speech and what is or is not hate speech.
The only persons who brought the issue up are Diamond and Silk in their very hilarious hearing.

It would require ripping the 1965 Immigration Act and nearly everything after it.

Whenever I see them I remember that theyre here to deny an American a good paying job.No, they're here to make a better life for themselves and their families.
The result may be fewer Americans in those jobs but that's the fault of the (probably) American employers that hired them.

After taxes, $800/month sounds about right for people stealing American jobs. Fair share and all that.

That’s a good point. The Republicans want cheap labor.

Oops.
The H1-B job application mentioned ‘high slavery’, not ‘high salary’.

“H1B is to skilled workers, what illegals are to unskilled”
many of the H-1Bs are illegal aliens. Most stay past their employment dates and become illegal aliens. It is estimated there are now over 5 million illegal alien H-1B foreigners in the US.

All of the alphabet soup programs only serve to circumvent citizens, versus actually serving them.

They generally have no work ethic to speak of either

If this really occurred then someone lied to the government when they applied for the visa. They are supposed to verify that a prevailing wage was met.
Whether the Deep State intentionally looks the other way when they lie is another whole issue.
