| Most evidence indicates that OPT graduates create more jobs for US-born workers through business formation than they "consume," so this change would get us further from full employment for US-born workers. See e.g. [0] [1] [0] https://bw.bse.eu/wp-content/uploads/1564_compressed.pdf [1] https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3635535 |

If all of the major US companies have a CEO that is Indian, and these companies still employ a lot of US people, but that number is changing fast - is it really just a study that's trying to convince you not to believe your lying eyes | | |
| ▲ | bdangubic 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | what are your eyes telling you? whatever they are telling you, you would feel the pain if you actually ran a business and were restricted in hiring to make "US 100%" this is why companies spend tens/hundreds of millions lobbying politicans and why we have a charade of OPT / H1B by the current administration while no one is talking about much bigger issue which is outsourcing. In a company I contract for, 47% of all employees (out of 4k) are outsourced. but you won't hear a peep about that cause you just go to mar-a-large with a large white envelope and problem solved while the "masses" are eating up this "OPT" and "H1B" charade. Too funny... |

| This won't cause more Americans to get hired. These jobs will just move overseas, and probably take other jobs (that Americans were getting) with them. |
