> There are plentiful capable US engineers available to be hired An anecdote, for what it's worth: My brother graduated from Berkeley last year (CS/Math), and has absolutely struggled to find jobs. His friends have struggled; everyone he's talked to has struggled. Meanwhile, job postings in the Indian job market (we're both Americans, but are Indian by origin so we tend to keep up with things there) are damn-near overflowing. It's a frustrating position to be in, and it doesn't look like the current administration is going to fix anything.
