Then the wage auction doesn't solve any problem that the prevailing wage requirement already solves, it only creates more issues.

It solves a problem of, say, Google and Infosys competing to get the lottery. With auction, Google gets all of them.

I 100% support quota elimination, but I thought wage auction might be easier to pass than quota elimination.
