I work in an engineering firm, and there's another good reason why foreign engineers are so highly sought-after by U.S. employers: They are often better engineers than their U.S. counterparts.

This isn't even directly related to H1-B visas, either. It seems like most of the students in engineering schools are foreign-born, too.

Actually, most of the students in GRADUATE engineering programs are foreign-born.

There are certainly a good percentage of undergrad engineering students who are foreigners, but an even higher number in grad school because most American kids get that bachelors in engineering and go right to work.
