"extremely talented H1bs"

We would have to filter for these more. In reality the majority of H1B visa are issued to companies like Infosys or Tata who often have below average people.

They really should just outlaw H-1Bs for body shops. There is no rational justification for it given the blatant abuse of the visa program they have long demonstrated. If a company needs work done, they should be forced to sponsor a guest worker directly.
