IMO I think we need to fast-track H1Bs -> Green Card -> Citizens. Make skilled immigration easier, not harder.

Otherwise, if its too onerous, we're just training another countries workforce.

This is already the case with Indians and possibly Chinese. The waiting time for h1b to green card for Indians is several decades right now and maybe 5-10 years for Chinese. Things might get better if the climate discourages future immigration from these countries but there's already a big backlog in place.

		That's about to speed up when H1-Bs drop to the hundreds next year.

H1B isn't skilled immigration. Or at least it wasn't before this change. Thanks Trump!
