Again Occam's razor. Your are applying to much to it.

There's been no push to overhaul H1B as it has little political value for the politicians. I see what people are frustrated about especially those on H1B but I don't think it is some cynical reason by the politicians - its more that it has little to gain for them.

It's a non-voting group of people and it isn't a large enough issue for any of their voting base.

It is not some weird theory about keeping H1B an underclass and putting downwards pressure on domestic employees.

> its more that it has little to gain for them.

But it will cause them a loss from the big donors that do benefit from H1-B people having less negotiating power, which is why the cynicism is warranted.

“Occam’s razor” is for situations where something is happening unintentionally. There exists intention here, however indirect.

Occam's razor: "It is generally understood in the sense that with competing theories or explanations, the simpler one, for example a model with fewer parameters, is to be preferred."
