What exactly are you paying, do you offer remote work, do you offer training? You can find plently of excellent devs in the USA.

Other large companies are massively abusing the employee sponsored green cards too.

Re:Trump Administration to Overhaul Lottery System for H-1B Visas

The Department of Homeland Security said it would begin to implement a "weighted" selection process to give an advantage to higher-skilled and higher-paid applicants from February, according to a statement posted on its website. Matthew Tragesser, Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesperson, said: "The existing random selection process of H-1B registrations was exploited and abused by US employers who were primarily seeking to import foreign workers at lower wages than they would pay American workers."
The move is the latest in a broad crackdown on US immigration by President Donald Trump, who has dramatically stepped up deportations of immigrants and sent enforcement agents into cities across the country to carry out arrests. The change also follows moves earlier this year to curb the number of applicants for the H-1B visa, which is popular among technology and professional services companies, including charging an additional $100,000 fee.
Beryl Howell, a federal judge on the US District Court for the District of Columbia, late on Tuesday ruled the White House could move forward with the application charge after the US Chamber of Commerce had sued in October to block the six-figure fee.

The more than 400,000 tech workers who have been laid off since 2022 are a clear reflection of wage suppression in the industry, as many of them have spent extended periods without a paycheck.

I’m including everything in that count: scripts, Python-compiled executables, development tooling, and custom software. On some days, I’ll build five or more small tools or scripts just to automate a single process. Working for a small business gives me the flexibility and freedom to explore new technologies and experiment.

730,000 H-1B holders within the U.S. Can we just cancel this program please?

AI-assisted development has helped me fall in love with coding again. This year, I’ve created more than 200 small applications and utilities that are delivering real value to the business, and I’m grateful that this work has been recognized with both a raise and a promotion.

I would think the hospital industry would get an exemption from this as it is critical to the US.
