There’s a very simple fix for this. Don’t make H1B a lottery system. Grant them in order of highest-paying roles.

We get access to truly exceptional people for whom companies are willing to pay exceptional wages, and we eliminate the exploitation of H1B visa workers.

In the database I linked above, I have seen convenience store employees with low-salaried H1-B visas — how is it not possible to find such a citizen?!

Definitely like the idea of removing the lottery system — great suggestion.
