So how can adding a few tens of thousands of engineers not affect wages yet "harm the competitiveness" of American business? The only reason business wants these workers is to get them at a cheaper price. This all about price. So if the price doesn't change a whole lot, then the position of the business doesn't change a whole lot, either. If the price changes a lot, then so does the position of the business.

In any case, I fundamentally disagree that our immigration policy is too restrictive or that American businesses, which are already earning record profits, are not competitive.
