Ted Cruz's H1-B Reform Bill to Require $110K Minimum Salary

I wonder what percentage of H1-B holders make >= 110k. All the people I know who aren't in the tech industry and have H1-B don't make anywhere near that... That's one way to deal with the cap.

Eliminating OPT is going to make getting an H1-B visa harder too, that's how foreign students get experience and can get closer to making the 110k... No one is going to hire an inexperienced student and pay them 110k+ right away. Obama once said something along the lines of: "We're giving foreigners the best education and then we send them back home..." that isn't beneficial to anyone.

If you're not in Silicon Valley, forget hiring any H1-Bs. Most software developers outside major tech hubs don't make that much.
