H-1B visa debate: India says it’s a trade and services issue

There is, as you say, some amount of rhetoric from people that are opposed to the H1B program in general. Most of what I see from the HN crowd, though, isn't that. They seem to be fine with how companies like Google are leveraging H1B...honestly filling slots that can't be filled locally. The angst is with companies like WiPro and Tata that are gaming H1B to undercut the labor market.

Tata and Infosys are perhaps the worst abusers. Wonder if it makes sense to have a better mechanism to keep a check on the visa applications instead of having given them free reign to game the system.

Someone on HN proposed to have application fees for individual applicants under a company be proportional to the total number of applications by that company, so as to deter them from applying in high number & having to pay exorbitant amounts as fees. Only then would companies with few requirements are also able to get H1B candidates at low fees also without suffering the sheer probability advantage that BigIT gets.
