But those H1Bs all come for a very narrow set of work - mostly software development or other adjacent roles. So your 4 million figure that counts all graduates in all fields doesn't make sense when we talk about tech. There are around 100k U.S CS graduates . You're telling me 100k H1-Bs don't make any impact on them?

You're counting only CS bachelors, in reality there's 400K graduates a year in software engineering fields. There's also only 60,000 H1-Bs a year for private companies. Lastly the majority of H1-Bs doesn't go to software engineering jobs, it's around 30-50%. There's also basically no US company hiring juniors via H1-Bs, so yeah, I'm saying it doesn't make any meaningful impact. 30K H1-Bs versus 400K grads...

  The way you handled those numbers makes me think you have leadership potential, perhaps even U.S presidency material

  > There's also only 60,000 H1-Bs a year for private companies. Actually, more like over 80,000. They have a separate pool for people with advanced degrees (MS or higher) in tech fields. Agree with everything else.
