"You can see where I’m going with this. A casual perusal of the data shows that this isn’t a program for the top 0.1% of talent, as it’s been described. This is simply a way to recruit hundreds of thousands of relatively lower-wage IT and financial services professionals. "

Unfortunately, "travel ready" is probably a very important consideration for getting a visa. It's sort of like having a dearth of qualified candidates for a local school board, so somebody ends up winning the election regardless.

When I trained managers on hiring staff, I tried to emphasize having a minimum bar for the person who was offered a job, not just hiring the best candidate out of a mediocre field because "we need somebody right away". One of the executives I worked for phrased it differently; "Don't settle".
