Most likely these companies will set up GCCs offshore. Moving the jobs abroad.

Whatever tax and living + lifestyle expenses that USA economy was making from H1B's will be gone.

Good for the rest of the world.

Nothing stops those companies from moving offshore anyway. If being in the U.S. didn’t offer advantages they wouldn’t be here to begin with. At some point americans are going to have to start having faith that their own country and people are a competitive edge against other countries.

The government can penalize companies for doing so.

oh that's an optimistic view; more likely they slip some more bills into omni-trumps hands and this is silently dropped.

Assume grift first when any American regulation is proposed.
