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.
Just showing your preconceptions. I was born and have lived my entire life in the US. I have however worked with a lot of H1B holders and have seen teams offshored because it was cheaper or allowed better coverage.

When did you move to the United States for work? Where did you come from before that?
