Most of the H1B folks who are here for 3yrs don't live out of the bag for 3 yrs. If this attitude remains, the smart folks will avoid US entirely.

This would make most Americans really happy. We don't want H-1Bs.

Most Americans don't even know what an H1-B is (or how visas work in general). They think foreigners can just show up in the US and "apply for citizenship".
