The most noticeable impact that will have is shift many many jobs to immigrant friendly countries in the same time zone like Canada, or just straight to India. That'd be a lot of taxes and local consumption happening outside the US.
Take places like Japan, negligible work immigration but wages haven't really been growing along with productivity.
- pkaye 7y ago> immigrant friendly countries in the same time zone like Canada Canada has a stricter immigration requirements than US. Its just that there is a huge demand for visas so it gets backlogged.
- letitgo12345 7y agoIn the context of skilled workers, Canadian immigration is exponentially easier than US immigration.
- dalyons 7y agoHaha yeah ive had work visas in both ca and the us. Ca is much more straightforward. It’s not easy, but it’s not riddled with hostile confusing BS like the US process is
- belltaco 7y agoHuh, till a few years ago you become a Permanent Resident in some provinces, just for being a tech worker in the US. No need to have even visited or ever worked in Canada on their work visa.
- sumedh 7y ago> Take places like Japan, negligible work immigration Japan has work immigration, they dont call it work immigration, they call it technical internship.
- technofiend 7y agoSounds like an opportunity for a tech maquiladora in Mexico or points farther South. Mexico has the benefit of low cost of living and easy access to the US. I placed people in Buenos Aires and it has a standard of living similar to any large city in the US.
- masonic 7y agoArgentina has little in common with Mexico besides the Spanish language.
- xtracto 7y agoIt is already happening here in GDL, Mexico. Several start ups have opened dev shops down here. They have a competitive advantage and plenty of comparatively cheap talent to get from big companies like Oracle, hp, IBM, Intel, Tata,Cognizant, among others that already have bored developers.
