🇺🇸 President Trump’s Second Term Playbook

Journey Ahead
Seal the Borders. Break the Back-End.
Here’s what is coming next fast, quiet, and devastating.

1. L1 Visas The Quiet Lifeline May Be Cut
Global companies use L1s to transfer talent internally. No lottery. No randomness.
That freedom? It may vanish.
🔍 Expect
•Massive new L1 fees
•Audits for “disguised outsourcing”
•Annual quotas by company, by region
Entire project teams could be stranded.
Multi-million-dollar U.S. contracts, stalled overnight.

2. The Outsourcing Tax, The Strike
No One’s Ready For
This is the one that keeps CEOs awake at night.
A proposal gaining traction
A “Digital Services Export Tariff” taxing every project executed from India for a U.S. client.
Also on the table
•Ending tax breaks for U.S. firms outsourcing code
•Forcing onshore hiring or facing penalties
Impact?
Margins crushed.
Pricing models broken.
Contracts renegotiated or lost entirely.
The outsourcing model as we know it may not survive.

3. The HIRE Act Trojan Horse for Talent Lockdown
It sounds pro worker. It’s not.
This act is engineered to trap talent inside borders.
Key clauses could
•Force companies to prove no Americans are available before hiring abroad
•Penalize those who “over-rely” on foreign workers
•Restrict remote international teams unless cleared via U.S. labor laws
Companies may be forced to dismantle offshore units or face litigation.

4. Green Card Freeze: Permanent Limbo Mode
Forget long queues. Now, they may just be closed.
Leaked proposals suggest
•Employer-sponsored green cards put on indefinite hold
•High-skilled migration limited to U.S.-educated talent
•Reallocation of quotas away from India-heavy categories
The American dream for Indian professionals?
Quietly erased.

5. OPT Shutdown No Jobs After Graduation
Thousands of Indian students use OPT (Optional Practical Training) as a bridge to U.S. jobs.
Now, it’s in the firing line.
Expected
•STEM OPT cut from 3 years to 1
•Or worse cancelled entirely

Students will graduate into a void.
No job. No visa. No path forward.
But Why the War on Outsourcing?
Because in Trump’s world, offshore = enemy.
In 🇺🇸 President Trumps second term vision, every job must be local, every line of code written onshore, and every foreign team treated as a threat to American labor.

This isn’t just about borders.
It’s about decoupling the global tech economy one visa, one contract, one tariff at a time.

🇮🇳 India
What happens if this all lands at once?
•Tens of thousands of H‑1Bs, L1s, and students sent home
•Outsourced contracts terminated or heavily taxed
•Global tech firms forced to cut India headcount to stay U.S.-compliant
•Layoffs. Campus freezes. Wage deflation.
And here’s the paradox
Some firms may outsource more out of necessity.
But without visa access, Indian firms may not have the workforce left to deliver.

🎭 Bottom Line
The visa war was just the trailer.
The outsourcing crackdown is the main event.
And when it hits ,it won’t just challenge Indian IT.
It could trigger a tectonic reset of the entire global tech ecosystem.

Tick-tock. It’s already begun.
