Simple....
You can take my word for it (and if you don't, which I suggest you shouldn't) or do a little research on your own by visiting any college campus specially any engineering department. If you go to any engineering department specially advance classes.. meaning 300/400 level classes or Master and phd, you will find out that 90% of the soon to be engineers are foreign students, 10 years ago it used to me mostly Asian (Chinese) and now mostly Indian.
Our company like many others can't find qualified US citizens with Master or above degree in Engineering jobs, so we have to look else where which is right now graduates from India.
Because of the high demand and not enough supply the immigration office is also bugged down and typically 7-10 years waiting for the residency path, which means companies have to spend time and money on immigration lawyers, which does hurt the bottom line.
BTW these are not low paid drones. Immigration office has very strict policies as the minimum pay requirements for foreign student working in a practical training programs which is stepping stone to working visa (H1) and then path to residency!
Companies like mine prefer to hire US citizen or US residents, but we can't find any...the good ones all are taken by big and fancy firms. For few positions that we have open we have been looking for more than 5 years.
Diving Mullah
Holy crap.
Not only will Americans not do hard physical labor, but it seems they won't do hard mental labor either.
What does this bode for the future of this once great nation?
