They can’t vote

  They can pay people who are trying to make other people vote for their candidate though. Chip in a 10K per, and you a major power in US politics. Apparently there are 730K H1B holders, that's enormous demographic considering that all of them are employed people. Even at 1K per person would generate 730M budget.

    Jamie Dimon is in DC right now lobbying the admin over this, but in all honestly, most companies built redundancy plans for this kind of a regulation years ago with GCCs in India along with the Canadian branches of American companies. Reality is this rule only incentivizes offshoring (maybe India, maybe Canada, maybe LatAm, etc) instead of hiring domestically. In trying to get a headline saying "we can hire 100% American" now companies are considering offshoring, which means 0 Americans are hired. There are smart ways to crack down on H1B abuse, and the headline policy wasn't it.
