There's an entire industry built around F-1/OPT abuse, since it's the only way to have a decent shot at getting an H-1B. Cf. the Silicon Valley University and the like.
Other visas are also abused (J-1, L-1, even O-1). It wouldn't be that hard to have a saner immigration path for skilled workers, like Canada, Australia and many European countries.
