if they restrict h1b visas, nothing stopping them from solely hiring Indians in INDIA without having them move to the US, so no visa needed, thereby circumventing the visas. they probably will hire domestically, mostly senior or “x amount experience” so they can keep things from falling apart or training the overseas team.

Tax the offshore engineering and R&D, too. My company plays both these cards with a China office to hire local, cheaper talent plus manufacturing is local so they help domestically on their side. Thats a win. Then they hire tons of Indian H1B for engineering in America.

That’s way harder to track. Immigration and visas already have processes in place and people watching. It’s very easy to track where money is going.
when you’re paying for offshore engineering, it’s just some money moving around.
