"We have plenty of professionals that can do these jobs"

This has been true at certain times in the past during recessions (think tech bubble bursting) and thus probably will be true again sometime in the future, but right now, actually, there is not a enough talent to fill these jobs.

The job market is super tight right now in the tech industry and without worldwide recruiting, companies like Google would be unable to keep fully staffed. But I agree we need to fix our schools to start producing more individuals that can fill these relatively high paying positions and then wean the industry off of its dependency on offshore recruiting. The first step would be to start teaching programming languages and programming logic as part of mathematics starting before HS in schools across the nation and then expanding tech skill learning opportunities at all high schools.

So change that to "We have plenty of talent in the US that could be trained to these jobs" and you be 100% correct.

PS I am hiring manager at a very large software company.
