No. There is likely appropriate proxies for this data. I imagine that as the policies start to get shaped, we’ll be able to put some substantial data behind it. In addition, the qualitative data is overwhelming so it’s not hard to paint a clear picture from it.

It’s not a case of universities and corporations not doing this effectively as it’s not a “zero sum game.” I believe we are nowhere near the boundaries of what we can handle in this country.

Is is fair to say that In the absence of credible quantitative data, we might need to position this to the govt as "the US needs to make it easier to import IP and create jobs" ? And justify how universities and corporations are not effectively doing this today?

I haven't found a credible source for quantitative data. Qualitative / anecdotal data suggests that it's a meaningful number.

I haven’t found a credible source for this data at this point.

Is there any data on how many entrepreneurs would US VCs commit money to (over the last 1,3,5 years), but couldn't due to the visa problem? How much VC money was left uncommitted as a result (and how many jobs not created as result)?
