I'm in software and if I could hire more American engineers, I would. It's not about the cost for my company, it's about the availability of skilled talent and American schools aren't producing nearly enough of it. We've been hiring overseas for nearly a decade and unfortunately I don't see that changing anytime soon. More H1Bs would at least let us bring those great guys over here, which would make my company more successful and would obviate the need for us to send millions of dollars abroad.

American colleges aren't supposed to train, they are supposed to educate. If companies had better training or mentoring programs, it wouldn't be as much of a problem.
