The more fundamental issue is that it’s legally a temporary visa program even though no one uses it that way. The law even acknowledges this with the dual intent doctrine.

If we are going to reform things we might as well scrap the visa altogether and roll whatever changes are needed into the employment based resident visas, including if necessary adjusting the numbers.

Of course that won’t happen because Congress doesn’t pass major overhauls of anything anymore. But if we are going to dream, might as well dream big.
