Yes. Both programs are rarely used because of the excessive paperwork, but both are indeed intended for this purpose. The US government actually encourages use of the H-2B program to curb illegal immigration. Update: recently, the H-2B program has gained in popularity, and today, the maximum number of H-2B visas per year under the quota is being issued. This is still only 66,000 workers per year.
