> To start with GC wage levels are much higher than H1B levels.

And that exactly defines the problem and why US citizens, in general, hate the H1-B program.

The solution to the H1-B program is to transition H1-B's to green cards in 12 months. The company sponsoring the H1-B is responsible executing the paperwork, background checks, and posting a bond to fund the spot checks, investigations, etc.

H1-B sponsors will drop through the floor. However, companies that genuinely want the specific person will continue to be just fine.
