The mobility discussion is interesting to me as someone who navigated US immigration.

Moving countries is hard. Not just paperwork hard, but restarting-your-life hard. Credit history, professional networks, understanding how things actually work versus how they officially work.

If the mobility framework makes it meaningfully easier for skilled workers to move between India and Europe, that's significant. Not because of labor economics, but because talented people having more options is generally good for everyone.

The H1B system in the US has created a lot of anxiety and frustration. Competition for that talent pool seems healthy.

Does anyone have a detailed explainer on the mobility changes, or is it just not finalized yet?

The US is no longer in competition for that talent pool by its own deliberate actions.

Might we see a European flowering as the US chokes itself into a regional power?
