This is a valid concern, though I'm worried it will swing the pendulum in the other direction also - that it basically gives non-regulated, non-governmental, non-accountable entities the ability to wield immigration as a stick.
That or allow an existing cabal of VCs to lock out competing, upstart VCs.
