Minimum salary requirement is the solution for work visas - in my time (early 2000) it was unofficially £30-35k for a permie job, something that I had at the time, now it should probably be £50k. It should apply to ICT transfers as well.

This is a war that has been well and truly lost.
Five: As Congress debates laws, federal government officials work on trade agreements.
Indian and U.S. negotiators have been meeting in advance of President Obama's visit to India, which is scheduled for right after November election.
The negotiating teams are working toward a totalization agreement , which would exempt Indian firms from having to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on temporary visa workers.. H-1B visas workers who pay these taxes will never receive any benefit from them unless they become permanent residents. Such a law could cut the firms' H-1B labor costs by up to 14%
The U.S. has similar totalization agreements with mostly other countries, mostly in Europe. The Indian government has also reached agreements with European nations, and expects to sign one soon with Canada. If a similar tax break agreement is reached with the U.S., the overall benefit from this program may more than offset the cost of any increase H-1B visas fees.
Governments in the west have made a fundamental and fatal mistake with this policy and it far too late to repair it. In the long run it will all end in tears.
Individuals are fools to fight this. Move on.
