Having done some student lobbying on H1B visas a few years back, I can tell you the fatal flaw in that plan is that it does nothing to secure the southern border. The same thing is true about sending military aid to Ukraine now — how does that stop people from crossing our border? In the twisty little minds of Congressmen, we can’t do anything good and obvious unless we solve their tangentially related problem first. All of that stuff you said about the system sounds like it matters but honestly those concerns never even appear in their minds.
