The H1B issue: Yes, American workers, YOU DO QUALIFY FOR THAT JOB.

106. If companies are abusing the H1B one system then fine them.

I'd even say increase the fines as well. Lower the number to 50,000. I'm not sure you can completely kill it.

I'd even be for a double quota system, the number of companies caught abusing the system, subtract them from the next year. For instance if 1,000 abuses occur and the baseline is 50,000, then only 49,000 are available next year. The year after that it would start over depending upon the abuse in the prior year.

A three strikes law (oh, the Republicans like this for the criminal system, why not apply it to the H1B system). The third time abuse of the visa system for a company they are ineligible for 5 years and a $5 million dollar fine (reinstatement wouldn't be possible until the fine was paid).

I think there are some creative things which can be done besides killing it. These are just the ones I came up with off the top of my head.
