“I’m pointing out statistical facts.”

BS. Your posting history is that of an H-1B lobbyist.

The facts DO NOT say Americans are not qualified and that foreigners are more qualified.

Lobbyists always have to lie because no one accepts what they are selling otherwise. What a lair.

America First! America Wins! Go Trump!

Ad hominem attack: Check.
Divisional logical fallacy: Check.
Tu quoque: Check.

You're batting 1.000 on logical fallacies, CodeToad. Care to add more?

I think your first comment points out who's lying, as I've never lobbied for offshoring. You'd be hard-pressed to find me advocating for offshoring EVER, nonetheless on FR. I've lost 3 previous IT gigs to offshoring. You won't find anyone more against the practice.

My post was discussing the American educational system's inability to churn out quality students in the STEM disciplines. I'm not advocating for offshoring because of that. I'm stating that offshoring is a consequence of it. Until we fix our education system in this country, we're going to continue to fall behind the rest of the world in STEM disciplines. According to a 2012 survey, we rank in the middle (23 math/31 science) of 65 industrialized nations among our students. You are more than welcome to fact check this, as it's been plastered all over American media for years:

Lack of interest and aptitude keeps students out of STEM majors

The Geography of Foreign Students in U.S. Higher Education: Origins and Destinations

STEM Education Statistics

U.S lag in science, math a disaster in the making

I'm not going to continue in this palaver if you're going to resort to attacking me or having temper tantrums. I never once said that an offshore resource can do a better job than an American resource. I'm saying that American resources never get the chance, because they aren't as well prepared for the math and science portions of STEM jobs; and they are outpaced by offshore groups, because their services, no matter the quality, can be had for less than 30% that of a comparable American resource. Blame American business for that, not the workers themselves!
