Not a bad proposal.
Especially this:

They would be required to pledge that they made a "good faith" effort to hire an American before taking on an H-1B worker and that the foreigner was not displacing a prospective U.S. worker.

Employers would also have to advertise job openings for 30 days on the Department of Labor's Web site before making H-1B visa applications, and they would be prohibited from advertising positions only to H-1B holders.

[End quote]

Because of all the exceptions which have allowed far more visas than permitted under the cap, the cap should be halved.

This should allow the companies to hire all the workers needed, while still attracting unusually talented and qualified individuals from other countries.

The program is now both an appropriate way to attract talent and a dodge to lower staff costs. This legislation, and subsequent legislation to close loopholes and perhaps halve the number allowed again, could be a solution to the problem.
