Having more H1B visas doesnt help the worker. Most of them are snapped up by giant consulting companies, and that likely wouldn't change much. Adding a million more is just the status quo, but worse for Americans.
What would make H1B better would be giving visa holders 6 - 12 months to find a new job instead of 2. That would give them way more leverage to quit bad employers, drastically reducing abuse and low wages.
Somehow i doubt the billionaire class is looking to improve employee treatment and pay, though.
