As I point out below this is already the EB2/3 program. The idea that either the employee or the employer is looking for temporary workers in the H1B situation is a fiction. Why not just fold these visas into the existing permanent resident programs? If those programs have problems (e.g. per country limits) let's fix them instead of papering over them with a not-really-temporary visa program.
