All 100% BS. H1B foreigners replace Americans. Fact.
To scale up the re shoring of America's largely destroyed industrial base, we are going to need good to go talent in existence right now that is ready to hit the ground running at a scale so macroscopic that there is no way we fill all the needed slots solely with American talent for many years to come - even with a 1960s space race style commitment to educate and train suitable high tech workers.
Have been dealing with this for the last several years and I can assure you that there is a critical shortage of highly skilled workers across the board that is holding back the rebuilding of America's industrial base, especially in high tech.
We are talking about re building entire industries that have been beat down and fled the country for decades. And some of our emerging technologies are so advanced and difficult to implement that you really need to cast a world wide net to find the best people to build the technology.
