What recruiting? My phone stopped ringing weeks ago. Many recruiters have been laid off. Even the Dalit recruiters have stopped calling.

Actually, I think there is reasonably simple solution. The cost of an H1-B visa is 1 million dollars apiece, you may buy as many as you want. An exception is made for agricultural workers.
If the tech industries are so starved let them fund the universities and colleges to teach to their needs. Alternatively, and I think this is a much better idea; let the tech industry found their own schools to teach the skills they need.

Bullspit! They are not hard to find, they just don’t want to pay for them...

H1b is simply a wage depressor.

There is no shortage of US engineers.

H1b is to skilled workers what illegals are to unskilled nothing kore

Lying liars and the lies they tell. Ask the tech workers who are being laid off and required to train their foreign replacements in order to receive their severance package.

Not really a bad idea, but make it 2 mil and renewed annually. And eliminate birthright citizenship

Hadoop’s been around 7-10 years and some trade rags call it obsolete.

Business lobbies worry Pres. Trump will send the Fortune 500's army of 'bonded labor' back to India.
That would be 300K jobs for American graduates, a huge boost for worker rights & professional class, and a useful populist promise for 2021.#H1Bhttps://t.co/uL2S1OxOUP— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) June 27, 2020

Ban work visas - then corporations can self-ban if they choose.
