They might crack down a few of these firms each year to justify their own jobs, but I do not believe it will have a huge impact on the industry. It's similar to our southern border... or the 'War on Drugs'. The harder the government tries to catch them, the harder the criminals will work to do what they've always done without getting caught. And I agree with the first comment... the fraudulent companies just make it more difficult for those with valid sponsorships to get in. I doubt that it will come to an end anytime soon.

I am waiting to apply for H1 too. But I didn't get through for the first time because of these IT consultants. They usually duplicate the application (because of greed) which obviously overwhelms the number and leads to the lottery process. People like me and many others who apply with genuine documents gets screwed!! So..yes! they deserve such punishment! Moreover it is better to shut their business down.
