Is Computer Science better than engineering these days

I’d like to see something like a 100,000 H-1B limit, with H-1Bs first going to those who get Ph.Ds and Masters degrees from accredited, vetted US universities, with the rest going to those who get bachelors degrees from US universities. I don’t know if that reaches 100,000, but only then should H-1Bs be given to those who haven’t otherwise qualified.

<p>Perhaps an alternative reform would be to limit the number of H-1B visas that any given employer can get to 5-10% of the number of US-based US-citizen-or-permanent-resident employees in the H-1B job categories it has (let very small employers have up to 5 or 10 or so, even if it is more than the percentage). This should make it harder for the cheap outsourcing companies to hog most of the visas, freeing up more of them for the highly talented people that the H-1B visa program is meant for.</p>
