i expect the spirit of the law is to actually try and hire a local, but the letter falls short and merely requires the advertising

I would say the law will catch up but it's probably just part of cost of reveune.

But the USG will eventually sue you if you're making job ads that you don't want to actually be filled for the purpose of h1b / green cards.

No; it's really just about proving that there's no-one who's qualified.

Nobody is qualified because the ad is written around a candidate they've already verbally hired.

It's a stupid song and dance. If people really want to be isolationist, they should crack down on it. If we really want freedom, drop the requirement. Until then it's just insulting to see a job posting that I know is for the brother of the guy who already works here, who is already promised the job.
