Um. There are up to 85,000 annual H1-B workers invited to the US, while there are currently 8.7 million (non-military) US citizens living and working abroad (to use the terminology of some – stealing foreigners’ jobs). The really hi-tech industries (not the PC tech support folks) are absolutely dependent on recruiting the best minds – a race that the US currently often wins by offering higher pay than emerging economies can compete with. I’d guess that many high tech firms in the emerging economies would be seriously delighted to think that the H1-B program cut be cut back and they could retain more of their high achievers. Meanwhile it seems that poorly trained and useless Chinese and ‘Eastern European’ computer scientists are wandering seemingly unhindered through .gov’s servers – so clearly no need for further talent. Sheeshk!
A guy walks into a bar with a duck on his head. The bartender says, “Can I help you?” The duck says, “Yeah, you can get this guy off my butt!”
