This whole business of "cheap labor" driving immigration misses the main point that not enough Americans get compsci degrees.

As long as wages continue to decline in tech fields, how do you suppose we get more people to get compsci degrees or training? How about those up-to-date skilled Americans who still get the boot because they demand a livable salary?

Hmmm, take out $80K in student loans to make $20K a year, when you can get menial factor work that pays that.

Sounds like a great ROI to me.
