Probably.
We should give every single one of these workers a green card. Every single one. And their families too.https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/17/h-1b-foreign-citizens-make-up-nearly-three-quarters-of-silicon-valley-tech-workforce-report-says/ …

As someone who works in this industry it absolutely does. Startups cannot afford an army of lawyers or the risks involved in hiring a key individual and losing them to the lottery. Most startups explicitly advertise that they won’t hire someone who needs sponsorship.

I'm in tech and I support this idea. Said a different way: LET'S STEAL THE SMARTEST PEOPLE FROM THE WHOLE WORLD AND KEEP THEM HERE. Do this enough and you can probably build your country into a world superpower.

As you are tweeting this, there are companies who don't sponsor at all. Like they don't hire H1B people and I am like why would you want to hurt your company by rejecting that pool of talent. And I am talking about big multi million $ companies. I don't get it
