No need to ban it. Just adjust the salary to REAL IT salaries.
From the article:
> The Economist found that between 2012 and 2015 the three biggest Indian outsourcing firms—TCS, Wipro and Infosys—submitted over 150,000 visa applications for positions that paid a median salary of $69,500
Essentially, these Indian firms are wage dumping by paying lower than US market.
If they had to pay 90K+ USD for these H1Bs, the number of applications would drastically reduce.
