It is easy to forget that H1-B applies to lot more than tech workers. Is there any statistics on the break down between the jobs types? I'd think with all the outcry over 'taking jobs'. That maybe the law should be adapted to have different quotas and rules for different industries. |

Probably should, but you would have to have the votes. In an environment where approximately half of the House and the Senate needs right-wing, nativist "heartland" votes to exist, it's unlikely to shift the calculus in favor of delivering benefits to American software developers: a demographic generally perceived as generally centrist to liberal (so why would they vote for Republicans if they helped improve this?), already well-off (so why do they need the help?), and chiefly coastal (so are they even in these votes' jurisdiction?).
