U.S. Bachelor's degree holders in STEM category should get 20,000 cap-exempt H1-B visa numbers as well.

Students who obtain bachelor's degree in the US especially in STEM field are entitled to work for 29 months through OPT but it seems like that part is completely neglected. A lot of students even require an internship to graduate.These students have far better communication and team skills than the ones who spent just a year or more to get their masters. A lot of times we are preferred by the employers rather than someone who holds a better degree. Most of the undergraduate students participate in research and various other activities but that is never taken into account. In fact a lot of us even take graduate level classes and even write a thesis.

What does this really mean? Is US bachelor's not as good as US master's degree or we should only come here to pursue advanced degrees?
