>> The only way to do that (and preserve H1B) is to entirely disconnect the subcontinent from the application process.

In that case, better to rephrase to "US should close borders for Indians (and China?) workers and companies". Why sugercoat it?

I didn’t include China. I also don’t think there’s any reason to close the borders to Indians. Rather, simply close off access to their Frankenstein cottage industry of scammers.

I agree that H1B abuse should be fixed. Its also bad for other H1Bs which have the skill and didn't abuse the system (which many of them are).

Maybe this 100k thing will fix it and maybe this wont. My main complain with this administration is always the chaos and impulsiveness which doesn't bring much confidence that they are actually capable of actually fixing the problem, as it always doesn't seem well thought through or executed. More like headlines to get some cheering from MAGA crowd.

I think it could also be that they don't want to fix any problems, but they do want the chaos and media attention that provides catharsis to the voting base.
