> that penalty would serve as a deterrent against making offers to visa users

It would put the additional costs they create to be visible. This is as it should be, since visa users do cost more than hiring domestic.

However, it would not be much more. And if amazon deems it to be too expensive, then other companies which are more efficient can take up the spare visa users, just as the free market intends.

They should pay a penalty if they do this to someone domestically too. It's shitty.
Shitty, yes. But it goes (slightly) beyond the area that I would deem to be indubitable.
