Even in theory he has no case - why do these high skilled immigrants benefit from leaving their home country? Because it's a dysfunctional mess? If that's the case they bring the mess with them because the culture of the high skilled people is what causes that mess.

his coauthor does some quack math in order to argue that the overall economic benefit outweighs all other conceivable factors

the only way i see this POV as convincing is if the destination country somehow had perfect state capacity to employ all its own skilled workers and the ability to create new jobs for the incoming workers at pace

in a dysfunctional job market like ours it's clear that skilled workers are just being used by capital to outcompete the natives

It is but you're a good boi. It still holds true because the key question is not about money. The high verbal IQ people want to lower the status of the work done by H1Bs and as long as everyone uses shit-tier H1Bs no one gets a competitive advantage and they undermine status.

"We all agree to not compete in having good engineers" is possible to enforce if you repurpose the state diversity machinery to help you. It still costs money.
