It is a fallacy that we do not have sufficient engineers. There are plenty of native born engineers. The problem is one of income. Foreign born engineers will work for rates that native born will not. It is the employers who want more foreign engineers. There is also a hidden danger that is not often addressed, that is their fluency in English. Often you can not understand the reports and specifications they write. And before anyone says I am full of it, I am a retired Professional Engineer wit a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and a Masters in Civil Engineering. I spent 40 + years designing and starting up water and wastewater treatment plants, steel mills, chemical plants, power plants, paper mills, etc. I also worked with numerous foreign engineers.
