I am incredibly surprised on how the changes to H1B are having a terrible impact on wages.

I asked to open 4 position but I was given a laughably low budget for all of them, I am talking about 20-25% less than my current team members. I expected everyone would laugh st our recruiters, instead I am seeing a ton of responses from H1B people, highly qualified willing to take far below market pay just to stay in the US. Local candidates won't stand a chance unless they race to the bottom.

Imagine if you were in the US on an H1B. If you lose your job, you have 60 days to find a new one or you are being sent home. Being sent home means it is a new 100K H1B originating fee to get you back in the country - ignoring the whole cool-off process which is a nightmare and really means noone returns. Alternatively, you can re-enroll into an OPT program and put yourself back into the education system or convert to a spousal visa if you are married before some crazy mix of the process. Meaning: it isn't the H1B that is devaluing your job, it is the policy and restrictions around the deployment and labor costs combined with a bleak economic reality and deep uncertainty in hiring that forces qualified H1B applicants into a completely inhumane deal which directly erodes your salary band.

If you want to improve your salary band, work to improve H1B holder job security and de-risk the unfortunate impact of a job loss.

Please note, I am a US citizen, but so many of my colleagues over my career have not been. When we talk about white collar workers rights, this is the impact of a lack of collective bargaining - both someone that isn't you, as well as you suffer when the employer is only inacentivized to grab the cheapest labor possible.
