Why do (most) employers in the US refuse to sponsor visas for international applicants?

It seems like it would be easy enough to do, and refusing can turn away qualified candidates?

Most of these answers are not correct. Sponsoring an H1-B is relatively cheap (under $5K or so). However, it’s a non-guaranteed lottery system that takes time.

You might spend $5K to wait a long time to find out that your employee did not get the visa. That’s a lot of time spent on someone who can’t work for you.
