The rumored proposal is exactly proposing that the affected H1B workers (mostly Indians) should be "expelled after a short period" (of 6 years) and have no opportunity to get permanent residency, given that the path to permanent residency for these workers is really long right now.

I don't think the current Administration is planning to change anything w.r.t. green cards, since raising the limits or removing the per-country quota requires legislation.

I didn't say that I agree with the current administration and neither did the poster I was agreeing with. All I was saying is that I don't agree with the current H1-B regulations. There's a third approach that neither the Democrats or Republicans seem interested in that I feel would be of more benefit to both immigrants and our country.

Fair, I misread your "I agree entirely" as you agreeing with immgrnt's view that the rumored proposal is a step in the right direction.
