ScalaFan··on New H1-B Visa bill doubles the salary requirements to $130K/yr
I believe that a green card and eventual citizenship is still available through a similar path today. You just have to want it bad enough to sign up for the American military and followup with proper paperwork.

Not many immigrants want to sign up for that duty though.

There are at least four stakeholders in this situation:

1. The American company that wants to save money

2. The Middleman (e.g. Wipro etc) that wants to make money on the wage arbitrage

3. The foreign worker on the H1B

4. The American citizen that doesn't want to be replaced by the foreign worker

I'm all for cutting out (2) and making it easier for the foreign worker (provided they have the skills) to become an American and not beholden to (2). However, I don't like the American companies saving money on the backs of American employees losing their jobs. How to balance everything is the tough question.

ScalaFan··on The Fifth Amendment and Touch ID
Although most like the convenience of using a fingerprint to unlock, it would be nice to have the option of turning it into a form of pseudo keypad by requiring two to thee different fingerprints in sequence. That should make it a bit more secure as well as misdirecting those that assume the types of security.
