At least the people being given preference for immigration are more likely to be truly exceptional instead of the cadre of shitty engineers coming in this country with mostly counterfeit resumes. I would call that progress, not necessarily a solution yet. Disclaimer: don't @ me, I'm an immigrant too, but since I live here I would like to be able to work when I'm 50 and not being replaced by someone desperate brought in this country in state of semi-servitude.

Since your opinion lacks qualification or data I will offer this counter-point:

Perhaps the need for immigration is great, because hiring companies lack trust in the competence of the available pool of domestic candidates.
