Economy follows the path of least resistance and cheaper labor through H-1B is that path now. But taking away visas does not mean everyone will happily employ local computer science graduates. This is what is more likely to happen: - Coding camps have lower requirements (notably cost), graduate people faster, and are proliferating quickly. Those will drive wages down. - Investment will start going to other countries. If one company doesn't do it, another one does and prevails in the market. As an engineer, the only way to stay competitive is to demonstrate added technical value or actual technical leadership.
