"Does anyone know why the number of visas isn't capped on a per-company basis?"
Or why the state department does look at what skills are actually needed where ... or why those who get the visas remain utterly dependent on the companies that got them the visas, thus lower wages in a way an "ordinary market" etc?
-- Wow, I can think of a reason. I think of "a million reasons", all with the face of a founding father.
Yeah, if seriously high-skilled folks were let into the US, no questions asked and then weren't dependent on only company X, then they actually wouldn't be putting pressure on wages of existing geeks because they would have their own legitimate demands. But couldn't have that.
