That's a great answer! Barring that, just hand H1-B people a green card or something that makes it easy for them to switch jobs. That means they can easily compete for the same wages everyone else gets, rather than being stuck with one company.

"Give them a green card" is essentially the same thing - the standard track to citizenship is ... -> green card -> citizenship, you pretty much never jump straight to the latter. Generally speaking, green card holders can apply for citizenship after 5 years, and it's pretty hard to be ineligible for one, but not the other (some people prefer to stay on green cards for other reasons).
