Yup. All the H1B haters are going to get what they want: silicon valley will lose its engine and the next major tech companies will be overseas.

I see it personally. People who are awesome. Their FAANG desperately wants to get them to come to the US. They can't for years. Then they give up and open an office in India or Eastern Europe and the US loses hundreds of jobs and great talent.

This teaches such companies to go overseas. And once they have taken on the burden of doing so expanding is much easier there than here.

It's amazing to see a country that has everything and every advantage throw it all away. But I guess Europe did the same thing a century ago.

The US is one country, "Europe" is what, 44 countries? You posit that 44 countries "did the same thing a century ago." How surprising can it possibly be that a 45th country might join that prestigious list... maybe?
