That would have been relevant if they did not use "contractors" on their premises. "Contractors" work on their, FAANGs premises, report the bosses employed by FAANGs, but are technicaly hired by likes of Tata, Wipro, HCL etc. They bring their employees at the lower rates from India, or hire at lower wages Americans, who is willing to work for less, such as recent graduates. So yeah, curtailing H1B abuse, and then, extending the program if necessary is right thing to do. In any case abuse of laws should not be tolerated, even if you believe the law is outdated. It either has to be repealed on kept and enforced.

You're assuming that the contractors will always be on premise. With covid-19 (and even before), most of these companies have established bases in Canada. The only obstacle has been management resistance to remote work. With covid-19, that's not going to be an issue.

What I'm trying to say is that just because h1-b's are curtailed it won't result in contracts not going out to these companies. The contracts will still exist because the rates are extremely attractive. The workforce will just be filled up in Canada.
