      Crucially they will want to make it as easy as possible to deport even H1B holders , so that their employers can wield even more power over them. That will make them even more desirable as workers over Americans.

      Well yea, why pay an American $200K/year at your San Francisco when you can import 2 H1B’s for the same price working remotely from your “St. Louis, remote” office?

      /s, in case that isn’t obvious.

        My former employer doesn’t bother with H1-B. They just have them work via remote desktop from India and claim that all software is developed in the USA.

          Yeah there’s that, too. I work in the US for a company that won’t let me hire anyone that isn’t in India.
