“The other stuff seems more reasonable but if you’re going to restrict immigrants’ ability to work on AI you might as well restrict natives’ ability to work on AI as well. I doubt that the former is much easier than the latter.”
This part of your comment I disagree on. There are specific provisions in US law to protect domestic physicians, immigrants on H1B visas have way fewer rights and are more dependent on their employers than citizen employees, and certain federal jobs or contractor positions are limited to citizens/permanent residents. I think this isn’t outlandish, but certainly not hard.
The end of high-skilled immigration won’t happen, I agree. Even when RW populists actually win national elections, they don’t do this.
