Outsourcing means we don't get the income tax revenue.

I'm fine with that. All the h-1b end up in red zone real estate areas which means basically they degrade services, because they don't build more pools, schools, roads or houses, and that isn't cool. We don't want their tax money; we want spaces in our schools. Great example is the whole Harvard rat race. Only so many spots, if they go to international students, some domestic student doesn't get to go. There are many things like this. As much as they say more the merrier, it just isn't the case. Maybe in some instances, but mostly not.

I'm totally fine with corporations taking an h-1b job and offshoring it. They threaten to do so, but here is the thing. When these people work in their Native countries they won't be nearly as motivated. The companies have to work around local labor laws and practices. Like government Holidays, there are hundreds of Hindu Holidays. The workers in many cases can easily by poached. They won't be able to leverage an English-speaking workforce to train them and so on. They won't be willing to trade lower wages for a "green card" when there is no green card to be had. The foreigners aren't going to pay to go to school here in the US just to go home and work. Not to mention infrastructure. Many of the schools in India don't even really have computers or networks. They can't afford to subsidize hardware like workers do in the US, they aren't going to show up with Mac Book Pros ready to fill out your ten-page work history and Obamacare worksheet.

It changes the calculation very much working with Natives.

It won't bring back the jobs. Trump promised to do that with manufacturing jobs, and that didn't pan out, either.

Again, companies don't care about 30% efficiency or accuracy. They care about costs.

You would be amazed at how proficient in English these foreigners are. I work with teams across the world.

Not sure what obamacare worksheet has to do with this, but, I'm very thankful for obamacare. It's allowed people I know to finally get healthcare.

I thought I explained it very well. Yes, companies care about costs, they would have already done it if they could have controlled costs in that manner.

I for one get tired of having to work with people that struggle with basic English. You have to speak so slow then explain everything over and over again. Then clean up after them when they don't understand.

I think you'rre just lying to get your racist views out there. No H1B I've ever worked with was anything but proficient in English and highly educated.

Do you think this will boost jobs?

No. This will likely decrease jobs. If we want foreign companies to invest in the USA and bring factories here, we need an initial crew to train and program equipment. Won’t happen now.

That is not the case across the board. Certain cultures are very “low trust” and it shows. Maybe you’re willing to accept 30% productivity, but for half these companies that 30% is only because someone here is cracking the whip and covering for them. If that person leaves, your whole operation turns to crap and that costs you customers.

I am as anti-MAGA as it gets and I support this move. If companies really want the talent they can pay US equivalent rates to get it.

Why are you judging him on 7-8 months? Do you think decades of structural probelms get solved in several months?

+1000 People criticizing the move to crack down on this visa abuse have no idea how badly this paeticular visa program has been abused.

Med schools are going to have to start training Americans. Hospitals are going to have to open more residency slots.

I know, the horror. Investing in our own people. Terrible.

Trump said he would do everything on Day One.

I wonder if Trump is going to make all his property workers pay $100k for their H1B visas?

First they make it hard for U.S. citizens to pay for med school. Now they take away for foreign doctors who fill the gap. I guess we’ll be left with nothing. MAHA!

What does red zone real estate area mean?

I don’t think it can be underestimated how much this is going to devastate the south Asian communities in places like Northern Virginia, New Jersey, and the Bay Area.

Halfassed as usual. It should come coupled with a heavy tax on offshored labor.
