    A lot of self-promotion quotes in there from companies involved in the H1B visa industry. But one broad trend among them: this will empower developing and non-Western developed nations at the expense of the American tech industry - especially the tech industry outside the big 5 or 6 giants.

      That presumes there is a shortage of qualified domestic candidates.

        Corporate doesn’t hire foreign teams because of lack of talent, it does because its cheaper.

        Or perhaps it presumes a shortage of domestic workers that are both qualified and also fit into the pay scales that US employers wish to pay.
