Can't some form of executive action be taken ? Perhaps enforce the H1 rules closer to the vest. The body shops are so bad. They force many of the onshore resources to work full-time then another 3 hours on nights + weekends to feed work to their offshore cohorts so that they can bill out the offshore guys which is where they have even better margins.

I'd defer to someone like Professors Norm Matloff or Ron Hira on this question.

Honestly, I've spent so long trying to keep startup visa out of the H-1B debate that I'm just not that familiar with it.

I don't disagree with you, but I don't have a sense of the political landscape to give you an answer that isn't a pure guess.
