    Makes it hard to use h1bs the way they were supposedly meant to be used; to make it easier to hire talent that can’t be found domestically. It think this will accelerate offshoring even more. I would have preferred the program was just reformed to make gaming the “prevailing wage” requirement harder, and to give h1b workers more freedom so they’re not as easily exploitable.

      This is my belief. Companies will hire people in their existing foreign offices and that talent will never come into the US.
