The solution is potentially easy. When the H1B was set up (about 1990), there was a minimum wage requirement. This has been effectively kept the same, though inflation has eroded the dollar. Solution would be to index the wage threshold to CPI and use a 10 to 15 year catch-up to the corrected value adjusted by inflation since 1990. Of course many tech companies are going to start whining and complaining.. cue the violins.
