H1-B Visas are necessary but currently done in the benefit of the company. The problem is they pay someone on a H1-B Visa less money then market rate. This pushes salary down and makes it harder for an American to get a job. The solution is simple, the visa should have to pay market rate plus 30% (make it hurt to not hire an American). That way we would be getting the best and brightest and filling the positions where they truly can’t find an American.
