Such a rule can have the opposite effect though, a company may choose to hire/grow more conservatively if it is subject to a condition that it cannot layoff.

The comparison does not seem to be apples to apples. The perf gain seems to come from bundling the fork and exec call allowing the kernel to do vfork like optimizations. I think a fair comparison would be against a new sys call that does fork_exec vs io_uring_spawn, and not fork + exec vs io_uring_spawn.

This seems to be the number of Americans with a criminal record and not a criminal conviction (someone who was found to be innocent would also be included in this number). I can't seem to find the number of Americans with a conviction though.

This is misleading though, because a majority of H1b applications are renewals (so folks already on an H1b), not new applications. On top of that, most renewals happen to be Indian Nationals because they have no pathway to obtain permanent residency in many cases.

Also how does a higher rejection rate lead to brain gain? I'd imagine it discourages a would be immigrant.

Can you cite links that support your assertion that there were fewer fraudulent H1B applications?

I wouldn't take that for granted at all, the last 4 years will definitely have a lasting impact on any brain gain the US might've had.

Perhaps they can replace the image with an obviously wrong image (and smaller in size), and then wait for someone to complain

+1 I can’t find a source for this. There are some tweets referencing this, but no official data.

Thank you for this comment, it made my day. I usually see posts wanting skilled immigrants out. The last few months have been especially bad due to the various policies that have been adopted.

> Because they still want to hire lots of Americans. They just don't want to pay them market prices. So they bring in H1-Bs to lower wages. If they hired them overseas, there wouldn't be that effect:

Wow, it takes skill to come up with an argument like that. How do you imagine this conversation happens at MegaCorp_0 between HR and a Hiring manager?

HR: “I know you need someone who has Skill_0, but we want to reduce wages so it has to be a h1b...”

Manager: “But I already have Candidate_0..”

HR: “Nope has to be h1b!”

Sure, but the borders of a nation seem more arbitrary than a species as a grouping.
