- lttlrck 1y agoThat's not necessarily what this means though. Is it. I bought a house while on H1B in 2014. If the climate was like it is now back then, I would have waited for my GC or, for everything to calm down. But I wouldn't have left... Edit: BTW it was far far from a low-risk venture in 2014.
- 15155 1y agoOh, no, the horror! Reduced supply and increased wages - who could possibly want that!? How awful that I'll never have to field another recruiting call asking about my 25 years of React experience.

- DaveZale 1y agoexactly. the talent was already here! Just more expensive.... less billions for CEOs the horror!
- isodev 1y ago> the talent was already here Yeah, the talent shaped over many years by experience brought to you from near and far. The question is, can your talent remain competitive and can you make new one?
- palmotea 1y ago> The question is, can your talent remain competitive and can you make new one? I've worked with tons of H1-Bs: their talent distribution isn't any better than native-born Americans and companies aren't any more selective when hiring them. Also, almost all of them were US-educated.
- DaveZale 1y agoagree. E pluribus unum, for sure
- moribvndvs 1y agoConsidering how aggressively the industry has been outsourcing _before_ this change, I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion this is going to end in a renaissance for US tech workers.

- rayiner 1y agoThe U.S. has almost no skilled immigration until 1990, with the exception of German scientists fleeing the country in World War II. Yet it became a world power.
- lesuorac 1y agoHey now, my ancestors came over in the 1700s and there were pretty skilled!
- bryanlarsen 1y agoThe US definitely had lots of skilled immigration before 1990. For example, almost the entire Avro Arrow development team moved from Canada to NASA in the 1960's.
- oa335 1y ago> The U.S. has almost no skilled immigration until 1990, Where did you get this statistic?
- chairmansteve 1y agoThe immigrants before 1990 had all kinds of skills, including people like Einstein, Von Neumann, Fermi, the data wasn't collected, probably because immigration was open. They didn't need special visas.
- hollerith 1y agoImmigration decidedly was not "open" when Einstein immigrated.
