Obviously it's not about minimum wage, I'm just using that pretense as a weapon.
The H1B system is about using Corporate Colonialism in order to create a corporate plantation where the migrants can be crafted into a dependent wage/entitlement slave class that forms a loyal voting block, and then they can be kept in close proximity to the plantation where competition for labor can be extremely high (keeping their overall pay buttressed up against the minimum wage). That way, wages never rise on the plantation, and competitors can't hire cheaper labor with all the unemployed people.
The cost of H1B's being unsustainable is simply a complaint by the corporatists that their wage slaves are too expensive, and the entitlement system needs to be loosened.
In reality, the immigration should be ended, and the entitlement system should be smashed. If we do that, they will find that American labor is cheaper than international labor, and faster to develop. This will cause American worker's wages to rise generally with experience and human capital, until the labor pool gets to a point where the entry level workers have a shortage, and their wages naturally increase in order to fill demand.
