This story isn’t really about India at all. In fact this whole H-1b visa saga is about ending unfair hiring practices discriminating against US workers.
Many decades ago Bill Gates and other tech oligarchs chose to brain drain India. They could have chosen China or the Eastern block.
I just hope everyone gets that.
It wasn’t about draining brains as much as it was about saving money. Multiple $30,000/yr savings by the number of tech workers and it is billions of dollars, possibly over a trillion since Big Tech set up shop.
