The problem is that the law as written, while it sounds like it should not allow body shops to hire phalanxes of seat warmers, has been lawyered-around (and by that I mean there are lawyers specializing in fitting your favored candidate to an H1-B visa): Post a job description that's impossible to fill, and then arbitrarily accept that the H1-B applicant meets the job criteria. Short of litigating every case, how do you stop that?
