  They’re already doing that. Unless they do something about outsourcing this is a meaningless policy.

    Exactly, when jobs get outsourced all that money leaves the country and doesn’t come back, Asia isn’t buying American goods all that much. China is pretty strict about preventing foreign companies from operating in China and India doesn’t allow foreign companies to directly do business in India. They have to spin off a profit sharing venture with a local company, that’s like 2 billion people right there and now with Trump antagonizing western allies, even Europeans are looking to move away from American businesses.

  If they do that, then they can’t threaten them with deportation.

  I was going to say this is good for Canada, but part of the draw to bring engineers here is the path to the H1B. If there is no H1B end-game, maybe they won’t bring them to Canada either.

  That said, we have some sizeable offices already established here, so maybe there is still incentive.
