I only have one proposal. If a company has a layoff in number of thousands, then the company should be barred from h1-b for a certain number of years.
If a sector has increasing unemployment or sub-inflationary total comp growth, no H1-B's for that sector.
I was told that entering in as a refugee is the easiest way compared to H1B, Is it true?

Did you know that you could have 15 years of working in the Bay Area experience and still be refused a German blue card because you majored in Physics or EE instead of CS? But mere work visas were easily obtainable a couple years ago with a signed contract.

Yup and that is why people like Narayan Murthy are the greatest criminals in the history of India. Ruined an entire generation of Indians by teaching them to do second hand work and stopped any original thinking from happening. That is why they are so behind China.
I think you're getting the order of causation reversed. The alternative to Infosys in the 90s would be to move abroad or work in a government job. You can't build a Porsche on day 1 - you have to start with the 10k car. The consulting companies kick started the engineering base that eventually led to MNCs/big tech setting up offices in India, and the broader startup ecosystem today.

How is it Murthy’s fault? India started behind on many sectors and needed time to catch up. These vilified IT sweatshop jobs were and remain stable paths to the middle class for young Indians growing up in poverty. It’s only recently that India started to produce high-quality startups, because they had already built a base with the low-hanging fruit first. P.S. - I’m not Indian.
Above all, I wonder why brain drain is not viewed as a geopolitical tool. High skilled young professionals from China and Russia are essentially non-replaceable due to their declining birth rates. You can do a lot more damage this way than through various sanctions. A lot of people already want to move to the US, so this can easily be done by getting rid of the cap and switching to a tax on the employer to simplify t…

Lol, how are they "lax? And "significant issues" like what? According to who? You? Those countries are only afloat because of immigration. Their homegrown economies are uncompetitive ones based on resource extraction and the trades, and their populations are uneducated and unambitious.

It's very interesting how NET migration figures are rarely mentioned when this happens. Yes migrants are entering NZ in record numbers but citizens and migrants alike are also leaving in record numbers. (not uncommonly for the exact reasons I mentioned - the NZ economy is not competitive and it's not a place educated, ambitious, career minded people can maximize their potential)

I hope at least these uneducated and unambitious populations manage to keep people who think like this out of their countries
