> There should be no cap for people who have received higher education degrees in the US.

Then you're effectively creating a loophole. There would be a proliferation of private schools that accept anyone willing to pay enough $$$ and churn out barely-competent graduates just so that people have a better shot at citizenship. "Attended a school in the US" is not a good proxy for being an asset to the country.

> There should be no cap for people who are going into STEM, AI, or other jobs that are going to vastly develop the economy.

That's essentially the whole point of H-1B, and right now, they're overwhelmingly allocated to what one could generously describe as STEM professions.

It's possible to require an accredited degree.

Accreditation doesn't mean that the school is prestigious or selective, or that the degrees are useful. You have no shortage of silly and easy degrees you can pay for at accredited schools, and I don't think they should give you special immigration privileges. Communications, advertising, dance theory, you name it.

You just described the problem with easy student loans.

The solution is same: tighten what qualifies for student loans and what is an asset to the country
