Without H1-B's, which is a highly bureaucratic process, the tech sector in this country will decline rapidly.

Not enough people graduating in engineering programs to make up the difference....

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform: "We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program."

ok break down the supposed STEM degrees. How many in each discipline? There are not enough ENGINEERING and COMP SCI folks, with experience, in the market right now. Especially comp sci with strong backgrounds.

When we do find them, they're costing more than $150k per year.

H1B visas are used to keep tech wages down. That is definitely the case. And Trump will do nothing to change the law to prevent that from happening.

Now here’s the thing no one wants to discuss. If tech wages skyrocket then businesses will outsource more IT jobs overseas. They are already doing this with most coding projects. How do we manage both? Trump hasn’t discussed this at all other than flip-flop-flip on H1B visas.
