Engineers getting laid off is a separate issue. It has much more to do with $450 Billion YEARLY trade deficit with China. And back in 1960^s, 70^s and 80^s when engineers had plenty of jobs, even then there was a shortage of really brilliant people in the field.
So if a foreign student displays extra-ordinary achievement, it is asinine to kick her/him out and approve another legal immigrant who has neither the skills or money to bring with them, based on sponsorship by a close relative.

Read the stats.
eports by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), the RAND Corporation, the Urban Institute, and the National Research Council have all found no evidence that STEM workers are in short supply. In our own report, my colleague and I looked at the latest government data, which show that in 2012 there were more than twice as many people with STEM degrees (immigrant and native-born) as there were STEM jobs — 5.3 million STEM jobs vs. 12.1 million people with STEM degrees. What’s more, the supply of STEM workers is not just limited to those with STEM degrees. Nearly one-third of the nation’s STEM workers do not have undergraduate STEM degrees. Many STEM jobs in areas like computers and laboratory work can be learned on the job.
