It might depend on the STEM field. What bothered me most about recent U.S. graduates in my field wasn’t their technical skills; it was their disgracefully poor command of the English language. I was astonished at how many American-born STEM graduates had English writing skills that were worse than what I’d see from their peers who spoke English as a second language.

So you hire STEM workers based on English skills? Wait, what?

So we may have a pipeline problem - but currently there is no shortage of competent STEM-trained Americans.

Don't restrict yourself to recent grads.

So you are saying Indians and Communist Chinese (I can’t understand either). Indians constantly sound drunk. No I will not revert anything, you can’t have my good name and I won’t do the needful. Effing speak English without that filthy accent.

Chinese are just as bad.

And both groups have mastered the copy-paste.
