The H1B visa program should be amended to force companies who replace American workers with cheap H1Bs to pay the displaced workers a full 2 years pay with full benefits.

Sounds reasonable to me. I look forward to hearing the details of the new legislation Ted and Jeff are working on.

I do not agree with bringing in H-1B workers to replace normal workers.

If a foreign national has some ground-breaking knowledge or expertise not common here, then okay.

Even then, it shouldn’t be at the expense of other workers.

The idea is to bring in knowledge that will increase U. S. productivity and jobs, not eliminate them.

Ok, I'm a dope, but can we give an incentive to companies to hire American? Example: in these tax reform programs that set a uniform tax rate for companies — how about a lower rate for those companies which hire American and a higher rate for those which import workers?

Now, how would we tell if companies are hiring American? Would it create a whole new bureaucracy that would defeat the purpose of tax simplification? I don't know.

I'm just not sure a flat out ban on legal immigrants would be good for business if the business has an opportunity to hire a legal immigrant who has special skills Americans don't have.
