#3"The outsize role of these (outsourcing/staffing) firms has distorted the H-1B program, which Congress conceived as a way to help American businesses get access to the world’s top talent. Instead, outsourcing and staffing companies bring in applicants with less-remarkable resumes, paying them lower wages and heightening the risk of undercutting American labor. The result is a system that fails US workers, shortchanges the economy, stiff-arms talented immigrants and enriches a class of middlemen."

#7How did the middlemen get so much power in the US economy ? So much of the economy is just middlemen doing bullshit work and seeking rent. Staffing firms, real estate agents, car dealerships, attorneys, healthcare, etc. I don't think other countries have such a big problem with middlemen inserting themselves everywhere and seeking rent. Is there something unique about the US ?

When congress created these laws they just fundamentally misunderstood the astronomical demand there was to enter the country. There is so much financial incentive to bring people in, for laborers, for companies looking to push wages down, and for politicians who stand to gain from additional votes, that any route to do so is bound to be abused any way it possibly can be.
