Well, circumvention of legal intent all depends on who's ox is getting gored, doesn't it? I don't know a businessman doesn't try to cut costs/corners. And anyway, how do you know what the whole point was? Maybe the whole point all along was to import cheap labor, and the bit about "when they can't find qualified US workers" was just crapola to sell it to the rubes. Not trying to hassle you about it. Just saying.
Good point. Didn't think of it that way.
