The new H1B rules on the face of it would benefit Indians in that their salaries would be vastly increased, especially those up for renewal. Companies wouldn’t let employees go for a salary increment of 10k, will be way more costly to replace them.
Such measures, of course made by the white supremacist running legal immigration who isn’t too bright, actually end up helping the people they seek to target. I know of one such example. Years ago, a US citizen and Indian citizen were hired for 75k, identical experience & role
The Indian guy on his first paycheck finds his salary as 90k. Contacting payroll to check if it’s a mistake, he is told that they didn’t know but there is a county ordinance passed by Republicans that set 90k as the minimum for a non US advanced degree.
So the US citizen still got 75k and the Indian citizen got 90k. Republicans are happy they gave it to them, while they are laughing to the bank.
