have you seen H1B numbers lately? H1B constraints supply as crazy. 80K slots for 800K+ applications.

and besides, over-restricting import of labour will just result in offshoring dev teams to India. just look at major USA tech names

It doesn’t matter how many applications there are. What matters is those 80k slots which aren’t enforcing prevailing wage, and consequently push salaries down.
