I don't think you understand. Without H1B and J there is no way for US to hire any talent into US. No world-class engineer can work in any US company, no world-class researcher can be hired to any US university. This is will long lasting effects on US economy for years to come.
- pnako 6y agoWhat about the American world-class engineers, though? There are great universities in the US. Use them to train young American people. This could even benefit African Americans and other minorities.
- bagacrap 6y agoWhat about them? Are world class American engineers harmed by proximity to their foreign colleagues? Are world class American engineers so numerous that we can't find anything else for additional world class engineers to work on?
- pnako 6y agoI don't know if I'm a world-class engineer, but I'm definitely a foreign engineer. Why should we all end up in Silicon Valley? I'd rather have good engineers around the world than all competing in California just because it's a good way for the FANG companies to keep wages lower than they should be. The same companies that tell us that we're living in an interconnected world and so on. Fine, just open offices everywhere in the world, or promote remote work, instead of trying to get everyone in the same physical talent pool. Ultimately it only benefits the shareholders of those companies, not engineers (American or foreign), nor the population of the areas where tech cash is driving all prices up.
- fsociety 6y agoThey are opening up offices around the world and starting to promote remote work. You can do this and not fuck people over with the H1B ban.
