Unfortunately, if the changes you propose are implemented then that means a lot of H1Bs will lose their jobs.
This is true - but there's no need to apply it retroactively. You can just change the regulations for the next batch of H1B participants in 2017 - the visa only lasts six years anyway.

H1Bs won't like this answer, but it should be retroactive to all visa holders. Six years is six years too long to wait to fix things and get the situation to turn around.
