No because you don't pay the fee for American employees, only for foreigners who need the visa. This doesn't level the playing field for Americans so much as it makes it more expensive to hire from abroad. I'm not saying that is even inherently bad (the H-1B program really is abused, but it is largely the big tech companies who abuse it because of how the lottery system works), but I'm not sure it's a good solution to the problem it aims to solve.
