You can not "train" someone who has no interest and those companies with unfathomable amounts of cash are hiring basically top 2-3% of software engineers world wide. You have to realize that they have offices in Australia, EU, Switzerland, UK etc. So if they need to hire someone and do not have an easy option to bring that someone to the US they will have that person work out of one of their offices in the countries listed above with all the implications as far as which country is now collecting taxes.

My comment should have been clearer. By 'train' I mean train applicants who are somewhat qualified, but not fully qualified.

There are 2+ decades of anecdotes about poorly qualified programmers from India and China arriving here as H1Bs. The poorly trained Americans should be getting these jobs instead.
