I think the industry will find a way through regardless of how many hoops they need to jump through. They aren't following the rules very closely now, so they probably wouldn't follow any new laws.

If they tighten the laws, it'll slow down human trafficking, but it's a temporary solution. It'll make it harder for legitimate entertainers to get a visa. It won't stop unless they change the laws for the people who bring them in.
