I've been a proponent of levying an excise tax on H1-B visas equal to the salary amount paid to the person on that visa (including benefits, if any).

If you really need the lower salary worker then sure, you can have them, but it will cost you.

I would also make the company sponsoring the H1-B visa responsible for all relocation costs when they fire someone on the visa.



That really incentives you to under pay the H1-B though.

The fee should scale with the cost of training a US resident to do the job. If the fee is too low than toss the application cause the applicant should just pay for somebody's training instead.
