> BS. American scientists and engineers are quite capable of handling our military needs.
EXACTLY. The problem is outsourcing, We need to keep technology in the USA and not let foreigners have any access to it. I know lots of American engineers who are currently unemployed and who would love to design US weapons and military systems. We do not need foreign engineers just because they can be worked like pack mules and paid like fast food workers.
We are too old, too expensive and waayy too unphotogenic.
For decades members of IEEE have been complaining about the visas given, the under cutting of pay scales, and the generally not impressive job that folks of foreign origin have been doing. It doesn’t make the MSM but the truth is most foreign engineers and scientists just ain’t that good and they are willing to work for cheap money and work ridiculous hours under less than good conditions....
