If enacted, more R&D tech centers might pop up in other countries, esp Canada. The demand for high-level global tech talent is strong enough that most of them would not put up with much and companies will be forced to adapt.
High level global talent does not make up the bulk of H1B.
First, they put everyone who are not like them at a disadvantage - Poor funding for some school districts - Lack of accessible transportation options for folks in far flung areas - Lack of funding for individuals to go to college/expensive education - In this case, damaging careers, families and not letting people work at all, akin to slavery. Then, they come out and say: - Why don't you work hard? - Why don't you ge…
If this was such a cruel experience, the workers wouldn't be here and the H1B wouldn't be over subscribed.
The rights were given to them, that's when a lot of spouses gave up their careers elsewhere to build a family life here.
Now, like a video game, the rights are being yanked away. What are they supposed to do? Leave kids here and go back try to rebuild a life without family? Take everyone with them and try to readjust?
Imagine being lured into college with funding and after 2 years, they just yank that funding away, leaving you hapless. What do you do then?
Why aren't they allowed to work in the first place? L2 visas are, and they're quite similar in intent.
L1 is limited to managers, executives or specialized knowledge workers. It's not a low bar.

One person was able to transfer to the US after 6 months due to L1 blanket status of the US company. This just requires presenting a form to a consulate and does not require an individual petition to be filed with USCIS first.
America's government is as cruel as it can possibly be lately. This is just punitive and disgusting.

He will likely strike down hard against Indian IT companies which take more than half of H1 visa quotas Is there any indication that any of these or their domestic representatives donated to Trump's campaign? I'd search but I don't know any names. Seems like a gravy train the companies would be attentive to maintaining, though.
I think he will likely increase the minimum salary bar for IT professionals to qualify for H1 from the current $60k to potentially over $100k. That will wreck a lot Indian IT companies business models where currently it is a price arbitrage game.
This is a really cruel move. It honestly only affects a small population of spouses from Indian and Chinese immigrants who have to wait a long time for their green card application to go through (due to per country quotas). The reason why spouses of H1-B immigrants can't find jobs on their own, even when qualified, is because of H1 quotas which fill on the first day of application - and, if they aren't lucky to get i…
