The U.S. is not legally required to issue or extend a single H-1B visa. The USCIS states that H-1B visas are a 3 year visa (total stay limited to 6 years) for temporary, nonimmigrant workers. These workers are to fill specialty positions when this talent cannot be secured from the local labor pool. Employers are not required to advertise the positions and are given a legal means to discriminate against U.S. workers. Right now, we should not issue and not renew another H-1B visa.
Don't forget the big loophole, the "or equivalent" clause that allow employers to pretty much sponsor any H1B regardless of education and experience. Anyway, when the H1B expires, they still stay here; there is no agency that monitors them and makes sure that they go home when the visa is up.
