Silicon Valley can be considered one of the few places in the world where the competition for attracting skilled human resources goes beyond geographical borders. In recent years, the competition among elites from countries like India and Iran has intensified in this exciting market. However, the immigration policy of the U.S. government may change the rules of this competition. On one side, technology companies need engineers and researchers for the development of artificial intelligence, data processing infrastructure, and digital products, whose numbers are limited. On the other side, Donald Trump's government is trying to prioritize the employment of American citizens by restricting the pathways for foreign labor; in other words, returning to the 'America First' slogan. Although companies and startups based in Silicon Valley do not favor Trump's policy and have warned about attracting elites in other countries, the outcome of this confrontation does not only concern company executives or visa applicants. These policies can affect the location of technical teams, product development costs, and even the geography of technology investment.
