2. I work in technology...look at it this way...
Scenario 1: Increase H1'B's

Work gets done. Workers may stay here. Taxes are payed.

Scenario 2: No H1'bs

Work gets outsourced. Workers pay no taxes to US.

Which one is better for the country?

The only scenario where H1's are bad is if they are used specifically to bring down wages in the US.

I don't think thats the case. In the grand scheme of things, 100,000 people coming into the US to work in IT is nothing...

Trust me, employers HATE dealing with H1Bs...its really their last resort.
