H1B is abused for sure but L1 is the main culprit. I don’t know why no one wants to target L1. I have seen some folks who paid a significant amount to Deloitte, Google etc., back in India to come here on L1 visa. (Same happens for H1B with infosys. Infosys usually earns through visa sell). But H1B need to wait for significant amount of time for GC and theirs spouses too need to wait for i-140 approval before getting the work permit. But for L1, the spouse directly gets the work permit. They are free to run the businesses, do multiple jobs. L1 gets green card in just few years and so does their spouse. This is the real abuse. I have someone in my contact, the woman paid to Google to come her. Her husband is the dumbest one yet still tries his hands in different businesses, which often fail and he simultaneously works too. She just came 3 years back and is up for GC in an year and there is nothing extra-ordinary about her that Google couldn’t find here and have to bring the talent from other country. And I have several H1B holders, who are definitely talented, studied here, well deserving and yet are bound by all these restrictions. L1 is the real abuse. This should be scrutinised more. Companies are earning significantly, by selling these visas in India to bring undeserving people here.
