I think the solution to immigration is pretty straight forward. Fix e-verify and then enforce employment law. When the corporate C-level starts taking 6 month vacations in club fed for turning a blind eye on their employment practices, both issues will get addressed. Enforce the law on Joe and Jane average running cash basis for maid, nanny, gardener too.

IMHO companies are leveraging the cr*p out of their U.S. Workforce to fill the gaps with their cheap off shore operations in the technology sector. They won’t whole sale move their operations because they will go out of business. I’ve seen real H1b needs but it literally 1 iin 20, if not less. The rest are run of mill workers with dozens of us people dropping out.

You need some super rare skill, no problem, the H1b comes with a 50% training tax paid to local jurisdiction UE office.
