The White House said the program is currently undercutting American workers by bringing in cheaper labor and said some tech companies are using it to hire large numbers of workers and drive down wages.

I spent 14 years in Japan working as a skilled worker. They have a very interesting way of seeing that this doesn't happen there. Imported workers must be paid at least 10% more than the going wage for that occupation for someone with similar skill and experience. There are no quotas, just a basic test that they tried to find a local worker who met their requirements. Companies can import as many workers as they want which meets said criteria. For some reason, though, the 10% or more wage and salary premium requirement causes them to limit the number of workers they import.

Why do you suppose that is?

Almost every country on the planet has a comparable requirement except ours.
