Poll: Has the slowdown in H-1B created more job opportunities for Americans?

With the Trump administration's policies and tighter restrictions around H-1B visas, H-1B hiring appears to have slowed considerably.

I'm curious whether this has translated into more opportunities for American workers, particularly in the tech industry.

Have you noticed any tangible change in the job market?

This is some sort of Bidenomics. "Choke supply and subsidise consumption"? This isn't how any industry growth. If you want to support prices, stimulate demand not suppress the supply.
