I can only surmise the US’ immigration policy and lack of consequences for employers is the way it is specifically to provide for a large contingent of labor that is willing to work for lower prices due to their immigration status. Illegal immigrants’ labor for more physical work, and H1-B labor for more mental work.

I don’t think there is a “policy”. There may have been one in the 1990’s or earlier. It had never been revised. If I’m not mistaken the US is still working off immigration numbers from the early 90’s for employment based green cards.

The republicans and democrats can’t agree on a policy. They use it as flame bait since it is a very emotional topic, especially illegal migrants and H1b abuse. So we are in this situation of a poorly funded agency without consistent guidance for immigration in the 21st century.
