I have personally seen the H1B process first hand abused by employers which isn't fair to those wanting to come to the US to find a better life. However, this isn't enough. The US also needs to increase corporate taxes on those companies who are currently laying off US employees to merely restaff that exact same role in cheaper labor markets. I've seen many companies in the last few years layoff their US workers to merely repost the role in India for a fourth of the cost and then turn around and announce "record breaking profits".
