As an H1B holder in tech without a masters degree, I'm conflicted. On one hand this may help industries other than tech to get more foreign applicants. But it does nothing to gauge talent or prefer talented people. Getting into a US college and continuing my higher education was always a dream for me but it never came to fruition because of my family background. If this process is left to market to decide - by way of say a bidding process by employers - I'm confident I'll be able to get in the top and beat out visa stuffing companies. But it'd be absolute chaos competing with them and advanced degree holders. Reduces the chance of people like me quite a bit.
Getting a masters degree in the US is not that hard for someone with money and does not indicate talent at all in any way. I see this as just a way for upper middle class and rich people in India and China to migrate here and not based on talent.
