> It should make it easier for Americans to get the jobs Infosys is hiring for at $70k, and harder for Americans to get jobs from Google at $250k.

Why would it make a qualified American developer less attractive to Google?

Because it will become easier to import someone who is more qualified.

It will be more expensive. How will it become more easier?

Because the visas are distributed by lottery, and the largest number of applications are filed by Isfosys-type spammers. People with >$130k jobs in SV are being denied due to the $70k body shops spamming the lottery. If the spam goes away, those non-spam applications become a more reliable proposition.

There's nothing wrong with working for Infosys. How many people you think are capable and want to work for Google?

I'm not saying it's morally right or wrong. I'm just saying the set of people that get H1B visas will change, and the shift will be toward higher-end jobs.
