For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

159. A few points that stand out to me...

First of all, the ability to speak English fluently does not correlate with the ability to excel in STEM fields. My father is an engineer. His English is not perfect and his accent is thick, but he's a damn good engineer and his ability to speak or not speak English in no way affects his ability to do his job. I know plenty of people in NC who speak unintelligible English, however, and they are not from China.

Secondly, 'Red China' ... really? That's a bit archaic.

Thirdly, you say that US STEM workers are the greatest scientists, engineers and mathematicians. I disagree that's the case. A lot of the technological advances were and are made by naturalized U.S. citizens of foreign birth or even full-fledged foreigners. Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google, was born in Moscow, for instance.
