I worked at a place that wanted to hire a foreign worker. Then they just simply hired him. I didn't realize you can't just hire a foreign worker the same way you would a US citizen. They did publish the job ad they hired him for but I don't know if it was even circulated. It seems like a cottage industry of lawyers make a nice living creating a plausible paper trail for that kind of thing but it's all borderline fraudulent. But the job can also be crafted so specifically as to exclude all but one foreign person. I think we're just rubber stamping the visas. My point here is that what happens when someone from XYZ country comes over, gets in charge of hiring then decides they want more from their country, and then exploits the system to bring over all their friends and maybe family from their country and this goes on for decades and you're kind of hiding it under the carpet as we seem prone to do in these situations. This goes beyond just enforcement and worker protections into a place that's beyond the scope of the purpose of H1B.
