You’re assuming the talent exists locally. It doesn’t. Companies aren’t doing H1B for savings. This is a myth.

It’s more purchasing power.

The evidence shows this is false. If it wasn't for cost savings, companies could eat the $100k one time H-1B fee (lifetime employee generated revenue - lifetime total employee costs). I am asking you to prove the assertion that the talent does not exist domestically within the US. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

This is less necessary forward looking with global decoupling and de-globalization.
