I agree completely about the problem, but the way to fix it would be to fix the lottery-based system and move it to more needs-based or skills-based--which also means it needs more oversight.

The problem right now is largely big tech companies flooding the lottery with tons of applications, such that smaller companies have little chance of having their applications approved. This only makes that worse.
