Citizens are always favored. It costs way more money, lawyers, time and paperwork to hire someone on a visa. HR hates it.

The word on the street is it was cheaper to hire foreigners than locals. This probably changes that.

I mean they are cheaper initially, but as they gain experience and knowledge they aren’t cheaper than anyone else. The difference is that initial cost saving blocks a lot of people who are already US citizens from developing those skills and knowledge.

		One more reason for employers to invest in their local communities now … This comes down to cheap education. The skills can be acquired cheaper abroad. Companies can provide free education now or pay the 100k which is close to the cost of education here.
