I have an idea that I believe could help us eliminate the H1B program.

If you look at the graphic, you can see that students aren't majoring in as many of the STEM fields. This is because of the H1B program and fears of their job being outsourced. Here is a solution. Financial incentives for school administrators and teachers. The government pays school administrators, guidance counselors, and instructors massive cash payments if they can graduate X number of people with a degree in various STEM fields. For example, if a college increases the number of Mechanical Engineering graduates from 100 to 600 in 5 years, certain school employees can earn double or triple their annual salary that year. In fact, they could be threatened with being fired if they don't produce X number of graduates in various STEM fields. It would light a fire under them and they would simply get it done. They would encourage 50% of the people in Visual and Performing Arts to transfer into Computer Science or Chemical Engineering, etc. and the instructors would work harder to help them graduate. We would have so many people to fill those jobs, we wouldn't need the H1B program.

And we think the grade inflation problem is bad now.
You'd have to introduce some kind of standardized testing to keep the schools honest about how they're meeting their target numbers.
Red:
From what credible source did you obtain that causal relationship?
Pink:
What militates for eliminating the H1B visa program?
Blue:
From where do you imagine schools will obtain the additional 100 qualified program applicants? I mean, really. What share of the population do you imagine even takes calculus I (or even enter college prepared or disposed to do so)? (to say nothing of the rest of the math and science courses engineers must take for a Mech-E B.S. degree)
I the questions above because proposal to overcome "something" has to be implementable. The "best" idea in the world that cannot be implemented is in fact an ill-considered, thus bad, idea.
The H1B program does need reform. One of my coworkers is on H1B and he’s basically being abused by his employer. He needs them to process his paperwork so if he complains anything they do they can threaten to scrap his application.
Once he complained that they were cheating him with inflated fees and they almost booted him.
He works as a contractor for employer. My employer is a rich bank that loves to save money by outsourcing offshoring even when they are making billions a year.

I honestly believe some people want to see Americans laid off and jobs to go overseas. No idea you present will ever be considered if it involves Americans working harder and out-competing foreigners.
It's a numbers game. Some folks want to pay less and hire foreigners to accomplish that; they're hired as contractors too because then they don't have to pay benefits.
