It's very difficult to build a case that we need any immigration at all, skilled or otherwise. All claims that we need high skill immigration come from either the immigrants themselves, or employers with an interest in wage suppression. It's plain fact that most "high skill" jobs are not seeing real wage growth. Ergo, there is no real shortage. Americans would fill these jobs as wages and working conditions improved.

These are 5-6 figure jobs with good benefits, in-demand skills, even social cachet these days. What are all these people doing right now that they're fine with passing up cushy jobs in tech?
