Err... factually incorrect
The visa is also highly prized by technology professionals around the world because it allows entry as a temporary worker along with one's spouse and children.
H1B specifies a house-slave requirement for the spouse for the duration or until a green card is obtained. So it is valued amidst candidate immigrants from 3rd world countries where that is the normal condition of the spouse (with an optional full body burk-ha as an accessory).
It is not valued amidst proper professionals as their wives are likely to be professionals too. L1, O1 - we are talking. These allow the spouse to remain a professional instead of being taught a lesson in Puritan Family Values for the next 7 years. H1B - forget that idea.
I for once agree with Trump. The requirements for O1 are not that onerous. If there is a need for talent to be imported - satisfy them to import it.
