80% of H-1B approvals were for entry-level and junior-level jobs

This is why the $100K minimum was needed but we should go further and truly only accept the top 1% of talent coming in for any field.

And it's precisely the entry and junior level jobs that Americans are having a tough time finding
This is unacceptable
Agreed
And there should be documentation to prove that they're in the 1%

Another solution would be to not allow Indian and Chinese H1B or put it on pause.
What they are telling us is that no smart or innovative people come from Japan, europe, Australia or Argentina..... hell, the best IT demographic comes from the eastern block

President George H. W. Bush signed the Immigration Act of 1990 into law by on November 20, 1990. The H-1 visa was split into the H-1A visa for nurses, and the H-1B visa for workers in specialty occupations. The Immigration Act defined a specialty occupation as "an occupation that requires theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, and attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States." To qualify, a visa applicant needed any applicable state license for the particular occupation, and either an educational degree related to the occupation or an equivalent amount of professional experience. For the first time, a quota of 65,000 H-1B visas available each fiscal year was established. Employers were required by law to pay such employees at least the prevailing wage for the position, and to make certain attestations by way of a Labor Condition Application.
This stuff is what you elect people in Congress for. Ted Kennedy introduced it. Congress voted for it. President signed it.

We absolutely need to tighten things up and be more restrictive.

It should be $100k yearly, and it will solve.

My problem with this discussion is everyone wants to yell at Trump.
They have the power to vote people in Congress to push for actual immigration reform. That’s where the energy should be.
And if you aren’t pushing for this you just come off as disingenuous and learned about H1bs yesterday.

This is where Trump fails to understand the uproar. The cultural changes in Indian enclaves in this nation was not created on "the best of the best" only being brought here. But garbage like this, and being able to bring their extended families. It's all based on abuse of the system, so needs to be voided.
It needs to end.

If you live in Louisiana you should be calling Kennedy and Cassidy and not melting on a message board.

Are you saying that Trump has no ability to enforce the laws in place to stop the clear abuse of the h1b system? Stop the abuse of refugee system?
I guess any powers POTUS has to stop the illegal immigration that Biden allowed isn't there either, and needs Congress's approval to implement, too.
Apply the fricking current laws properly, and will correct a large chunk of the issues. Congress can then fund ways to fix law loopholes that are being abused.
Tldr...Trump has the ability to make a major dent in the issue, if he wanted to. That's why people are putting it on him.

Yes Congress would have to vote to end H1B but Trump initiated the $100K rule via EO. He clearly could do more without Congress if he can pencil whip an EO like that.

The H1B defenders act like every single Indian on H1B or other work visas here in the US is an Einsten IQ level super genius rocket science or brain surgeon
That's how you know none of them have ever worked in a tech or tech adjacent role
99% of the H1Bs are taking junior/entry level jobs like QA analyst, data analyst, junior software engineer, data engineer that our young college grads could easily do

I've been repeating it ad nauseum but Indians definition of education is different than Americans defintiion
For Indians it's all about memorization of the bare minimum you need to pass a test, interview or certification exam.
For Americans its about being able to think critically and solve problems. Less about rhote memorization to cram just enough knowledge to pass a test
It's why Indians are good at spelling bees since its all about memorization, but as workers they are useless when things go off script. They are fine for roles that are repetitive and menial but anything that requires problem solving or critical thinking, they become useless. I call it the Thousand Saard Stare. Anytime something goes off script or off the rails they just stare into blank space hoping someone else will take care of it.
