If there was such an abundance of talent, why does Google pay $125k for entry level SW jobs ? And why is SW engineering such a highly paid position ?

Outside of a handful of companies in Silly Valley tech is just another office job and less well paid than law, accounting, MBAs and most other professionals. No one ever says there’s a desperate shortage of corporate lawyers and we need special visas to import more!

Yes, they do. It's called the H-1B visa. Lawyers, accountants, financial analysts, physicians, surgeons, management consultants, architects, journalists, school teachers, nurses and many other occupations qualify for H-1B visas.

If lawyers and doctors were in abundance, their wages will reflect that

Lawyers' salaries have actually gone bimodal and there is a glut.
