it would ask companies to pay $100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas

I wonder if it'd have some caveats, like a maximum of 100 visas per year.

Roughly two-thirds of jobs secured through the H1-B program are computer-related, (...) India was the largest beneficiary of H-1B visas last year, accounting for 71% of approved beneficiaries, while China was a distant second at 11.7%,
