That’s one of the most nuanced takes on the H-1B visa issue I’ve read. As an immigration lawyer who represents mostly businesses in the hard sciences international talent is critical. Where I get frustrated is that my Masters and PhD level engineers and scientists in physics, chemistry, etc. with truly specialized knowledge are competing in the same H-1B lottery as entry level IT folks. The O-1 extraordinary ability visa is hard to get and adjudications are incredibly uneven.
