You think the US government will really allow that? You think they're gonna do this and then just let them outsource?

There is no way around it, you either outsource or lose (and they already outsourced almost all factories). Companies will move HQs to India and "outsource" some operations to the US.

I’m incredulous you’d expect otherwise? This is clearly pandering favor with a certain demographic, in a way that didn’t upset the big money going to Maralargo.

Why would they intervene with outsourcing the jobs instead of H1Bs? And more importantly, how?

That is their right. It is our right and, I’d argue, our duty to boycott them.
