If the H1B program is really this bad, and if everyone involved is truly morally compromised, would it be better for the US to shut the H1B program down completely?

Surely you can think of something more nuanced than that extreme option? You can fix the visa program such that you can attract the most talented immigrants and treat them with respect for the contributions they make to your society?

Most H1b visa workers are low skilled and are treated as commodity. Its their own fault because there will always be a market for low skilled professionals.

I’m proposing an extreme option in response to the extreme criticism. If the US in enslaving people, we should stop that immediately.
