If you hire H-1B you should be required to pay a fee greater than it costs to educate an equivalent American. Otherwise you're always in the situation where you have to hire foreigners because no Americans are trained. (or in reality you hire foreigners because they're cheaper for the same role which this no longer makes it the case)

The Senate made a lot of changes (Byrd rule also nuked a lot of stuff) so old articles are of limited use to the final bill.
I don't even know if [2] is the actual final text as there is neither an enrolled or public law version on congress.gov yet.
It's super annoying how often we can't read the final text of a bill before Congress votes on it.
