Tech Anon here. I see a few of the pros and cons related to this topic.

Bringing in the best and brightest helps us catch up to China in certain areas of tech. In the immediate term, we simply do not have enough qualified professionals in AI that rank with the top performers in the industry. I realize our education system is fucked, and can be fixed over the next few years, but the they/thems cannot fill in the gaps we have right now, and the tech is advancing VERY QUICKLY.

The con that I see in the tech industry with the h1-b crowd is general lack of attachment to the USA. I’ve known more than a few talented Indian engineers in Silicon Valley who had no problem executing on directives that are unethical and completely fuck over the little guy. And you can imagine Chinese employees having even less loyalty/attachment here.

I think we’re all on the same page:

The pay shouldn’t be less than an American, and probably should include some weird fee to be paid by the company so there isn’t a cost savings. They’ll REALLY have to want this employee to go through the trouble.

I believe the education system can and will be fixed , but in the meantime while we have some superstar grads coming out of colleges, they’re not enough to keep up for the time being . A big part of it is the brainwashing of many students who know believe their gender and ethnicity is enough of a virtue to warrant a paycheck.

We should do like the Chinese did:

Short term we rolll out the red carpet for top talent, learn from them, ramp up, and sunset/drastically reduce the program once we are back on our feet.
