Why is it *assumed* that it's the husband who's the H1-B recipient?
I've seen plenty of cases where it was the wife.
The point about women who aren't working losing their career status is
valid, but it happens all the time when they stay home to have
children. I know -- I went back to work immediately after having my
first, but HAD to stay home after my second (long story). Yeah, it
sucks, and yeah, some of it is discriminatory. Address that problem --
no one is willing to retrain workers who have been out of work for any
length of time; no one is willing to retrain older workers. Address
the discrimination first.
I'd rather let people in on H-visas to work here rather than outsourcing
the work to another country; at least some of the money would stay here
and would go into Medicare and Social Security.
Again, though, all of this is controlled by the US Congress and those
who influence them. Even if you're not a USC, don't let that stop you
writing and calling members of Congress.
