I think this is a terrible idea that only helps those like your friends: people that got into tech because of job prospects but never cared about the field.
It's going to hurt American IT companies and in the end all IT workers if the field becomes less competitive and more mediocrity will survive.

I can assure you the fact that someone has an H1B says almost nothing about how much they 'care about the field'.
- epolanski 1y agoYou're decreasing competition, you're making America's tech weaker.
