Analysts have identified several problems with the proposal. First, White House adviser Stephen Miller said in 2017 that only about 5% of current H-1B visa holders are paid at least Level 4 wages. In reality, the percentage is higher, but the statement is most important for what it means – that the goal of the current proposal is to eliminate up to 95% of H-1B visa holders from working in the United States.

“Ultimately, it is short-sighted and unfair to determine a foreign national’s worth to the United States solely on the basis of the rate of pay,” said Miner. “There are numerous examples of companies hiring foreign nationals who are early in their careers and then developing those workers – along with their American colleagues – into the next generation of leaders for the company. By allowing H-1Bs only for workers being paid at the very top of the market, this entire system is disrupted and American employers are instead being told by the government who they can and cannot hire, regardless of business needs.”

Remarkably, the government system for determining prevailing wage rates does not actually survey individual employees and gather their salary, education and experience. Instead, the government collects data for a different purpose through the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program and then creates four levels of wages based on a formula. “The OES survey captures no information about actual skills or responsibilities of the workers whose wages are being reported,” concedes the U.S Department of Labor. As an NFAP report explained, “By relying on a mathematical formula, rather than actual survey data, OES data can inadvertently skew wages to well above market rates for some occupations.”

Research by Britta Glennon, an assistant professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, found new restrictions on H-1B visas are likely to push jobs out of the United States, concluding, “[A]ny policies that are motivated by concerns about the loss of native jobs should consider that policies aimed at reducing immigration have the unintended consequence of encouraging firms to offshore jobs abroad.”
