Huh? Not even regular minimum wage is indexed to inflation. What are you talking about?

In Washington state it is. But I'm talking about the minimum salary to get an H1B visa which is $60,000. Given that H1Bs are intended to substitute for skilled professionals where the prevailing wage is easily twice that these days, raising it and indexing it to inflation seems like common sense.
