That's exactly how H1-Bs are setup in the US, but they just game the system.

A lot of tactics I've seen/heard are:

  • Making fake job postings to show high demand
  • Bad job descriptions or unrealistic job descriptions to show low supply
  • Really fudging salary numbers.

It sounds like a wilful lack of investigation & enforcement, in that case. The US gets what it votes for, I guess.
