Why don't we produce enough experts in the US to saturate our tech companies?
It's because American education culture is trash. American parents are fine with their kids getting Bs and Cs. Mediocrity is rewarded and excellence is discouraged in our schools, both socially and institutionally.
Meanwhile you have hundreds of millions of foreign born children pulling out all the stops to do the best they possibly can at school precisely so they can get into the US and work at one of our top companies.
It was never even a competition. Immigrants and children of theirs will continue to outperform because it is literally baked into their culture - and it is baked out of ours.
