It doesn't distribute them to different employers, it distributes them to different countries. Not the same thing at all.

There's no reason at all to think that anything would change in terms of the H1B Vs. employer relationship if that legislation would pass. We'd just have different nationalities in the same situation we do now.

Concentrating the delays and therefore the abuse to two countries created the IT outsourcing monsters you have now(search for TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant...) . Distributing the delays would therefore create smaller companies with a more diverse workforce and therefore would level out the H1B wage gap. Think of disrupting the status quo..
