politics

The main thing I believe about the current skilled immigration debate:

The H-1B visa is a very bad implementation of a very good idea

I don’t know if the USA has the political will to build a better merit-based immigration system (the current system is from 1952)

That’s fundamentally what we ought to be discussing IMO

h1b is abused by Indian outsourcing companies like infosys and cognizant (imo) and could use some reform but as is its a net benefit and at worst inconsequential in practice due to its small numbers. I get it’s a principle issue for some though.

Agree on political will; shame because it’s not that hard, here’s japan’s point system:

Yes, it’s a bad design and it promotes indentured servitude 

But merit based immigration should not be discounted as policy based on the implementation

Classic case of “show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome”
