The last time Trump messed wth these visad my company moved a bunch of engineers to Canada. The change for the US is those engineers are no longer paying taxes in the US. The change for Canada is they are paying taxes in Canada. I call that a win.
That isn’t what I’m saying. They won’t be in separate rooms, lol.
There is no impact to US citizen income if none of those people paid are US citizens, so it doesn’t matter if those non-citizens do the job on US soil or off of it.
Of course it does. If they do it here they pay taxes here. They spend money on their local economy, etc. If a large portion of the team gets offshored then it may not make sense to keep the rest of the team working different hours because it’s inefficient so the whole team now gets offshored so the American workers get laid off.

If the team inside was non-citizens, and they team outside is non-citizens, there is no change.

Then there is a change, because non-citizens and citizens are not usually segregated at work places
