I've worked in tech 25 years.
Used to be no immigrants during the 90s explosion. White dudes built the entire framework everything rides on.
Then a series of offshoring waves started and continued to cascade.
We're talking 15-20 years of building foreign labor pipelines as your priority. An ungodly amount of money has been invested in employment outsourcing networks in India because they make about $0.20 (or less) on the US $1 wage, and there is no 7.65% or any other costs associated.
They're just paying a flat fee to a "consulting firm" who does all the on the ground leg work in India.
The H1B program is a carrot to bring over the contractors that actually can do the job and rise above entry level. They want to elevate them as perm hires. Let's not pretend like you are scouting for great talent and bringing in high value prospects. You don't do that. This is about managing wages.
H1B is just creating an incentive driver for an offshore workforce. When they come over, they do as many say - they create nepotistic informal networks.
Once they got a toehold here they partnered with folks back home to create contractor to H1B pipelines to grease the wheels and a growing inertia never stopped.
You say you will cease to be competitive if we slam the door shut oh H1Bs. It's not because there isn't a capable US domestic workforce that can be cultivated to create domestic talent pipelines.
It's because of the Porter's 5 Forces model. India has become the source of cheap global tech labor and if you don't make use of it others will. They'll have better margins than you and be able to cut your throat in the market.
Or so you say.
What you aren't telling people is that domestic US innovators threaten the current system all the time - well until ESG, Fink and the Biden admin slammed the door on domestic hiring and thus domestic talent development.
What is generally done is use quantitative easing magic infinity bucks to buy out upstarts before they could disrupt. Or put them out of business with the regulatory state. Or collude with vendors to squeeze them. Or sometimes all of the above.
The tech bros only jumped onto MAGA recently because this system finally became so restrictive and so consolidated the cool kids club shrank down beyond the comfort levels (and was starting to get run by looney toons).
Kamala Harris is a drunk retard who got into politics by sucking the SF Mayor's dick and stopping fraud prosecution of the Soros clan. She now is followed by a literal procession of cross dressers and pedophiles, a was the Biden administration.
These assholes got some of you in a room and were trying to tell you who was going to run what businesses like drunken gangsters.
Those who had enough $$ and influence in the "got shit on" group jumped to MAGA to shake things up. You all started to feel stifled.
Well… Welcome to the party pal.
So here's the deal.
You need a serious rollback of overseas labor pipelines. Not just to pick on you, it needs to happen everywhere. Some egregious exploitation has occurred - society ending apocalyptic level bullshit.
The cost of being free from totalitarian lunatics and partnering with MAGA is domestic hiring. Period. Telling us we're not smart enough is really bad. We already know you're shitting on us, don't fucking insult us too. We know what the real story is. We have serious rock stars in our ranks. We know.
In return, we will give you high performance and do a very good job. Remigration will probably trigger a market correction, so the opportunity to make some changes should present itself.
Now it's up to you. This is a choices and consequences moment.
