Well it wasn’t meant to be used that way, but my understanding is that the wording of the visa program is vague enough that it can be exploited this way. And the rich assholes who exploit it this way make sure the politicians get nice big donations to keep it from being changed.

I'm pretty sure US's immigration legislation is meant to be used exploitatively, getting the good cheap work without giving much in return. If not explicitely then through loopholes, but very much with purpose. And not only since Trump.
