So open the borders and let anyone who wants to come in come in and work any job they want - let them vote as well.

Until that happens, I have a problem with this.

The simplest fix would be to give more rights to H1B workers. Assuming the workers are smart enough to work towards their personal self-interest, they'd then switch to places with higher wages for the same job or better work conditions. I can't see how it can ever be OK for my lead to make less money than I did just because he happens to be on a visa.
