How will US-based tech support scam operations be able to survive without a steady supply of Indian recruits?

Most companies would rather just let a job position sit empty rather than employ older white male native born Americans.

that’s not enough to time to train Americans for those jobs?

The Americans don't want to live 10 programmers to a house in Silicon Valley.

agreed - the opinion piece is complete nonsense. tech workers are easy to find particularly now as many are being laid off in droves. simply cancel H1B and return these guys (mostly to India, but a few Russians etc.) the tech companies will then be forced to hire older workers who cost more (too bad) as well as provide funding for training to colleges.

H1B and the rest of H1 categories are a huge scam - just enriches tech shareholders at expense of US workers.

An economics professor? Does he know about supply and demand? Less workers will drive wages up. Higher wages will attract more students to the field.

correct

what they have done is put so many requirements onto a position that (that they know they really dont need all of them) - ie they pad the so-called requirements

so that startng out folks won’t apply or be able to be rejected

and the long timers who do have possibly most/all the requirements look at the salary being offered and see they are lowballing, for what they are demanding, so they dont apply

then they get the green light to bring in foreigners who also do not have all the requirements, because they were all never needed in the first place

tons, yes indeed. and many of the big firms have tended to fire anyone over about 35 age, too. you sure are an exception if you can hang onto your tech job at 40
