they still need to file for permanent residency and you can still reject them.
If the laws need to "wipe away that compromise", better just disqualify them from filing in the first place.
It makes no sense to deport some of the people that you're going to give permanent residency to, while you're giving permanent residency to them.
The law should do what it was designed to do. The H1 system reflects a compromise between people who wanted skilled workers and those who didn’t want foreigners becoming permanent residents. So the compromise was a temporary worker program where most people would go home afterwards.
The law should be interpreted to give effect to that compromise. Your approach of streamlining immigration wipes away that compromise.
