Another category of immigrants who'd benefit from such a situation is the "grad student visa" students.
The US academic system (in STEM) has for too long relied on "free labor" of hard working, poorly treated grad students from countries like India, China, and Iran (paid minimum wage, often not adjusted for high living costs of cities like LA or Seattle). US students often don't go to grad school because as engineers they'd earn a lot of money and are less susceptible to being poorly treated by their boss. The visa is technically non-immigrant, but students often then get H1B jobs (yay for more abuse).
The whole thing is a travesty. This is pretty much exploiting other countries for natural resources, except instead of resources we exploit them for talent.
