What company is going to sponsor H1B visa for anyone that costs $100,000 and isn't a Comp Sc grad in the Bay Area?

There are a LOT of other professions where H1B visa holders add a lot of value to the US economy. It's not just CS grads in SF.

Bay Area is not just software. There are big pharma companies, financial firms, non-software roles in software companies, etc.

Exactly. But the bill in its current form will discriminate against non-CS degree holders.
