If your job can be done remotely, you will likely face more competition, not less. Restricting the H1-B will only lead to companies following the talent back to their countries with lower costs of living.

Moreover, the current restriction has barely any bite. It only restricts workers who are not in the US from getting a visa until December 2020.

Then those countries will eventually get a higher cost of living, and live the good life. That's a good outcome as well.
