What legislative measures are currently being considered to refine the H-1B program, particularly for roles that require ordinary or moderate skill levels, so that more opportunities in the technology sector become available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents? It seems reasonable that the program could prioritize truly extraordinary talent, such as PhD holders and master’s graduates from top U.S. universities, with thoughtful exceptions where warranted.

Ending or pausing H1B still doesn't prevent companies from using offshore labor, which is a common practice. Many of those people who are victims of AI layoffs are quietly being replaced with cheap offshore labor. My company is using dozens of those people so naturally all the US employees feel threatened. And you get what you pay for, many of them are under skilled and half-ass everything, but the Indian contracting firms will often embellish their skills and education so they can get them placed. What a sham and American citizens are paying the price.

Well, a bill was just introduced to pause the H1 program for 3 years: https://www.livemint.com/news/india/trump-allies-push-bills-to-pause-and-scrap-h-1b-visas-what-it-means-for-indian/amp-11777092495354.html

Why do the US always look for scrap, when you already have bright minds, or willing participants that are able do exceedingly better. Maybe, it because you don't like to do things the right way such as been unfair to merit and success.

Because the scrap comes at 1/4 the price. Corporations don't seem to understand that they're getting 1/4 the quality, they're only focused on $$$.

We need to revoke 99.99% of H1B visas. Americans first.
