My biggest issue with work visas is they're treated as an under-class that literally competes at upwards of half the pay or less and used to suppress wages. Especially in the past 5 years.
I'd like to see a 100% tax on Visa workers combined with salary floors per work classification. A tech worker that needs to be imported from another country shouldn't be paid less than 6 figures IMO, and depending on the position upwards of twice that. The tax itself should specifically be used to fund grants for STEM undergrads and graduates.
Just my own take on this, and I do have a personal stake and took a 40% pay cut last year just to be able to keep working.
Would you say the new $100k fee for employers aligns with this [1]?

Yes, but IIRC it doesn't count existing H1B or those that convert from a significant number of student Visa holders.
Not sure on the downvotes, I'm literally advocating for paying VISA workers MORE.
