And in all of the cases, they are Indians committing fraud to assist the immigration of other Indians.

Perhaps the simplest solution is to disallow Indian nationals from applying for H1B completely?

I think its generally problematic if one class of visa comes to be dominated by a single nationality. It does not result in diversity in the host country, for starters.

I think people would be more welcoming of the H1B visa (and expanding it, or offering more rights for those on it) if it wasn't completely dominated by Indian men. Perhaps rules limiting any one country to a maximum of 10% of the visa quota, and ensuring the intake is at least 60% female would assist public perceptions?

How would that be fair to Indian nationals that play by the rules?

There is a similar rule to what you propose in the Olympic Games. Max of 3 athletes from a given country in each track and field event. I always found that rule stupid and artificial. Potentially several of the top 10 athletes in the World can't compete just because of their country of origin.

Do you really want a race track full of Africans and Afro-Americans and throw field full of Scandinavians?

Wow, this is an incredibly racist and west-centric view.

Are you really going to exclude 17% of the world's population based exclusively on where they were born?

As an Indian, I would really like Americans to kick out all Indians so that they will stay in India and make India great. At least our children won't have to listen to such statements.

This is incredibly racist. This is exactly like the stupid Muslim ban by Trump. "Some x are/do y, so lets ban all x".
