I was talking about govt enforcing prevailing wage requirements that are already in place for H1B. This is one of the many loopholes that shady employers take advantage of.

With all due respect, government isn't able to enforce it since they just don't have enough folks to the job. It will fall on the business, which will include hiring more folks.

It's a never ending carousel of responsibility and cost increase (taxes or COGS - cost of goods sold).

H1B visa fees generates over a billion dollars. After spending in on various generic projects like biometric scanning , 911 responder the rest goes into treasury .

If the govt doesn't want to spend the money on enforcement then what can anyone do.
