I don't understand what everyone is up in arms about. H1B visas increases the supply of programmers. You don't exactly need a CS degree to be a programmer, so there are a lot of programmers. If people are complaining that H1B visas depress wages, then the correct solution is unionization/collective bargaining. I'm sorry, but programmers are a dime a dozen nowadays. Talent ALWAYS commands a higher pay - H1B or not. Everything seems completely fair to me.
