"...how this will be gamed". Maybe just spin off little small business divisions that happen to be in the very same office they were in before?

It should have been made an across the board, minimum $150k adjusted for inflation and a default requirement of $200k.

I realize the following is not going to be popular here , but people don't take into account how much these programs and illegal immigration are destroying the fabric of America because it allows politicians and corporations to ignore our problems in education and the economy. With every foreign H1B worker you are depriving a child that could and should have been educated to have filled that position. But instead, politicians and corporations ignored the issue and left poor kids to fester amid Democrat and big business policies (including Google and Microsoft) of welfare and immigration that undermines their community's growth and development. They have been trapped in a welfare bubble by Democrats and establishment GOP by selling them and America out to foreigners.

I know that's not what foreign YC readers want to hear, but these H1B visas and illegal immigration, and even excessive legal immigration are wreaking havoc in our society. We will never sole the education problem and never progress if we keep living on credit by importing other people to make it look like we are still successful. The detritus is starting to pile up no matter how much you slap new paint on it.
