Because many of the companies funded by venture capital benefit from abusing those systems and this is a pro-venture capital site.

I think you’ll find the companies abusing the process are almost entirely staffing agencies or worse. Very few, if any, are venture funded startups. At every company I’ve worked at and hired for an H1-B is more work to hire and is treated no differently from a compensation perspective as compared to their US citizen peers.

The theory that HN is part of a vast conspiracy in the startup world related to H1-Bs is misguided.
