$100K fee added to H1B applications

Reform is done legally. The statute this falls under requires the fee be based on the administrative cost to process the application.

Changing the statute requires Congress to act.

So if congress passed a law to impose a $100k fee it is reform? That is the only aspect that is concerning?

I don't think that is true from the perspective of the initial comment I was replying to. Clearly the crux of their concern was not "this ain't an act of congress".
