    I was actually seeing the inverse. Rather than hiring locally, I started seeing more outsourced. In that case even less money is spent in the US and money just leaves the country. At least with H-1Bs they were living here and spending their money here.

      That’s another great point. There are a lot of knock-on effects from this, just like there are from tariffs. (Honestly it is a tariff, just levied on people immigrating rather than goods importing)
