Are you suggesting allowing unrestricted immigration as long as there is a job offer?

That is simply not going to happen in the current political climate (and not under the next government either).

The whole problem from the local workers perspective is that H1B abuse depresses local wages because they now have to compete with other workers from poorer countries; eliminating bureaucracy, government provided job training or UBI does nothing to solve that problem.
