I want a bidding system for the H1B slots, paid not just once, but yearly by the companies which hire the H1Bs. That money should then go for scholarships to educate American citizens for these jobs. It first allows American citizens to compete, as they would be cheaper than the H1B salary (market rate) + fee, and it would provide funding for scholarships in areas which apparently aren’t being supplied by US graduates. In addition, there should be a multiplier on that fee for any company which lays off US citizens with that skill in the past N years.
