H-1B abuse: Bay Area tech workers from India paid ...
GP is talking about switching the H1B visa to a wage auction, specifically doing away with prevailing wage. That's what we're talking about.

I would think any such wage auction reform would maintain prevailing wage requirement. I don't see why not.

Then the wage auction doesn't solve any problem that the prevailing wage requirement already solves, it only creates more issues.

It solves a problem of, say, Google and Infosys competing to get the lottery. With auction, Google gets all of them.

Or another solution is to do away with the quota that originally caused the lottery problem to begin with, since it's now required that consultancies like Infosys prove the immigrant is working for the customer.

I 100% support quota elimination, but I thought wage auction might be easier to pass than quota elimination.
