But... what If you actually can get a Green Card into the US tho and actually immigrate and become a citizen to work at a stable position at say a Tech Company with high income, good work life balance.
Would something like that be appealing to a slice of the Global Population?? They can be from anywhere but they gotta kno coding, or AI or be an Engineer - this is the new "Give me your tired, hungry and poor"
Now the US will increasingly only take the best and brightest but any and all of them.
I don’t think the people building skyscrapers in the middle east and the people hoping for h1b in a tech company are the same sort of people at all in this case. Consider also how China has been making literal inroads into Africa the past few decades. There is a pool of low skilled labor that wouldn’t mind a little higher pay and a lot more stability and security to go along with that. There are still warlords destabilizing nations in this part of the world. Plenty want out.
Best and brightest don’t contribute to raw numbers. Also, even US issues more low-skilled visas than high skilled visas. Number of H-2A/B visas issues per year is like the double of H-1B. Former doesn’t have a pathway to permanent residency though.
Anyways, my point is, when governments become desperate, they will change their laws, needs and wants. It has been done before, and will be done in the future.
