Western nations are getting played by the whole immigration charade, at best it’s a useful tactic to rob brain and labor power from competing nations, but that doesn’t work when the money flows back out of your economy and to another. If your H1Bs are managers who create pipelines for outsourcing labor, then that’s just extracting tax benefits from your country while extracting labor benefits from another. It’s great for corporations and the country where that labor gets outsourced to, but not so much for the population of the tax-friendly nation. A way to offset the perverse incentives here would be to reward companies for each H1B they don’t hire. One also needs to be cognizant of the fact that competing high GDP nations will engage in any number of market tactics to prevent nationalist agendas from succeeding, but that’s just the game.
