People are perhaps not so enthusiastic about giving away their countries just so multinational companies with no loyalty to them don't leave. On the other hand, China, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea all manage to have highly-successful tech industries (tech, not ads and social media) with near-zero immigration.

Those countries have much stronger educational systems (at least K-12) and a much stronger devotion to education than the US.

On the other hand, the US benefits massively from its research universities, which attract large numbers of top-quality graduate students from around the world, many of whom remain in the US after their studies and make up much of the tech workforce.

> giving away their countries

How does immigration of highly skilled tech workers in any way "give away the country"?

At salaries and with work hours that are far from enviable.
