    I’m not the person up above, but I think your question might not be meaningful. The fact that some people are willing to work under a visa that is being abused by hundreds or thousands of employers doesn’t mean that those people are bad, or that they don’t deserve to have a job somewhere, but it does mean that the visa program should be fixed.

    We also see in many countries, and I think in the United States, that when you have narrowly tailored work visas implemented in careless ways, it gives the employer leverage to abuse their employee, especially in the period leading up to visa renewal, but just in general. If we want to minimize human rights violations and labor exploitation, we should give people general residence visas that are not tied to jobs, or at least not tied to any specific job or field.
