    The fact that you believe there’s actual talent overflow in the US makes me question just what you might consider “talent”. A warm body with the ability to turn on a computer is not “talent”.

      I’ve been working decades in IT and for decades I’ve heard fraudulent claims from companies saying that they cannot find local talent. That’s nonsense.

      And knowing that companies have been shedding workers for some time now after over-hiring during Covid and hearing how long it is taking for people (in some cases, people I know) to land new jobs is an indication that there should be plenty of people to hire within America without resorting to H-1Bs.
