US vs foreign tech workers (moved from Study.com New CS Courses)

[bluebooger]

You know I used to wonder why the US has a shortage for programming talent and guys from China and India lead a lot of the breakthrough research at major companies and universities and why US companies crave this talent yet people with CS degrees from US universities are unemployed in the US or seek employment in fields that have nothing to do with tech

absolutely none of that is true 

what US companeis crave is inexpensive labor

its pretty common for US companies to fire their US tech workers, but force them to train their H-1B replacements if they want a severance package

so US tech workers are more than capable 

its just foreigners are willing to work for less 

and companies are more than happy to save a few bucks 

in fact, its pretty much a well known joke in programming that if you want cheap you hire Indian programmers
but any money you save you'll end up spending by hiring American programmers to rewrite and fix all the bugs

How are more silicon valley workers are born outside the US than inside?

cheap labor 

How is it in some STEM fields graduate students (90%) are not from the US?

gee, all I got from that is that foreigners would rather come to the US and study rather than study in their own country 
I guess their own schools suck must suck
