While I was hired under H-1b visa I was definitely underpaid, but the moment I got greencard my options exploded. Now I work at startup for 1.5x of prevailing wage in here. And in a year or so I plan to get next bump in salary or finally do a successful launch of my own project.
So... Do not want to slump domestic engineer wages? Remove stupid restrictions and procedures to do transfers once employee got a job in USA so these foreign employees could pick for whom they want to work as easy as this could do domestic employees.
