How exactly is the system being abused by this guy being paid $200k?

I think the premise the OP is pointing at is that this could be a position for a US citizen.

		That doesn't explain why it's abuse, though. How does the company benefit by paying this foreigner $200k + benefits + immigration fees/legal bills compared to hiring a US citizen? Abuse is e.g. bringing in cheap foreign labor at below US market rate. This is not that.
