I believe it was designed to allow and make it easier for Mexican (I believe it was targeted as part of NAFTA) workers to do seasonal farm work, I believe the costs associated with getting it are too hire for farms to get. Additionally, since it's a one-time only, it's not a truly viable visa.
Linus, I was responding to:
Companies can use H2 visas and get workers here legally to do "scut work".
"Scut work" is the trivial crap that medical students have to do. I figure that if one is going to put out slang expressions in quotes, one should know what the quoted expression means.
