> the average CS graduate from an average or low tier college in the US is not as good of a hire as the average int'l MSCS degree holder.

That is an abjectly insane statement. The quality of higher education varies massively throughout the world outside the US, just as it does within the US.

It also assumes that education in computer science is sufficient to become employable in the technology sector, which is in and of itself patently untrue.

It's not insane.

Yes education quality in the rest of the world can be bad also, but the people in the rest of the world who are able to immigrate to the US are richer and thus generally smarter, which accounts for that.

Yes I don't agree with the assumption you stated at the end, but many claiming we should stop H1B or disallow PERM think that's enough to be employable
