F-1 students graduating from Masters programs at lower tier schools mostly go work at staffing companies. These companies are worser abusers of H-1B than global outsourcers.

i agree with that. but, the proportion to how many h1bs get allocated to these staffing companies vs outsourcing is maybe 1:20 even if taken as an aggregate. even though it wont entirely eliminate the problem, it is still a good start. The second thing is to create rules to directly discourage indirect employment when on H1B (the abused vendor model).

If you compare two specific companies, your math is right. But if you compare the aggregate number of H-1Bs allocated to all global consulting vendors to those allocated to all American staffing companies, the numbers are much more closer to each other.

Agree that stopping third-party employment is a great step. This administration has been doing so by asking for higher levels of documentation.
