Hot take: the talk about increasing the availability of H1B visas is a bargaining tool that the incoming administration has no intent to actually deliver.
They’ve stirred up a very important sector of American business. They’ve caused a lot of apparent division along race/nationality lines. They’ll use all this to barter for various regulations that Progressives would have otherwise fought tooth-and-nail (I’m looking at increased production of fossil fuels, and possibly AI regulation that favors Tesla/X/Grok). At the end of it all, whether the plan works or not, Trump supporters will see it as genius-level 4D chess. Centrists will see it for the ploy it was. Far-left progressives will see it as a victory that they got Trump to back down, even though doing so means giving up some other thing they wanted (like eliminating fossil fuels).
All this talk makes the job market feel worse, especially for folks with little or no work experience. I have no doubt that this post will be met with derision by some folks who need someone or something to blame for their current position. Obviously, each of us should act according to our own judgment when it comes to the H1B conversation. The good news is, Congress sets the limit, not the Executive branch. Reach out to your representatives and tell them what you think.
