		hemantv on Feb 7, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to Fix Tech’s H-1B Problem If you start to give out visa based upon just the salary, indirectly you are saying that small business and town outside of high cost of living are not worthy of hiring people on visas. So only SF and NYC can employ immigration while Denver and Atlanta cannot.

Well people in SF pay more taxes, so as far as the federal budget is concerned, people working there are worth more.

If an immigrant doesn't want to stay in SF, they only have to work there long enough to get a green card, then they're free to move.
