> Employers are setting these wages when they hire immigrants many months in advance

That's not how people are hired in exceptional circumstances, as is the stated intention of the H1-B law. That IS how people are hired for outsourcing body shops, which should not survive this change.

Wrong. OPT and CPT are programs that many typical H1B immigrants are hired through by regular employers throughout the year.

The H1B chop shops are typically hiring just for the lottery that happens once a year.
