Host Brian Samson, founder of Plugg Technologies, breaks down the Trump administration’s proposed $100K H-1B visa fee and how it’s reshaping the global tech talent market. He explains why this massive policy shift could reduce opportunities for engineers in India and China—and accelerate the nearshoring movement across Latin America.
Brian dives into the geopolitical motivations, trade tensions, and economic ripple effects driving this change, from BRICS alliances to U.S. labor shortages. He also highlights how Latin America’s talent pool, time zone alignment, and cultural compatibility make it the most strategic alternative for U.S. companies scaling distributed teams.
🎧 Tune in to understand how policy, politics, and proximity are redefining global hiring—and why Latin America is winning the nearshore race.
