Well there is certainly scarcity, and I don't think an isolationist approach will help. We need to protect the H1Bs and equivalents coming to our countries; give them better rights, increase their leverage. This will make it harder for employees to drive down their, and by extension our, salaries. This is because foreign and domestic workers are substitute goods from an HR perspective.


I agree with you on the immigrant protections, but not everyone agrees on the scarcity point: http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-work/education/the-stem-crisis-i...
