No, the best performers couldn't get a visa or had to leave the country, because of the cheap Asian imports, who overrun the system. With the proposed min. salary this would have helped a bit, but the numbers are still too high so that many high performers have to work remote. Which hurts the US economy because their workforce will not learn anything from the high performers.

Now with the retracted spouse rule you again benefits Asian visas because their spouses usually don't work. In contrary to Europeans.
