There is no shortage of STEMs

Only a shortage of cheap STEMS (a tortured acronym meaning Science, Technology, Engineering, Math).

because they're smart

Why students don't study STEM anymore

they're just unemployed

Why there's no shortage of STEM graduates

Put the two together, and it’s easy to see

  • why students are too smart to go into a dying field
  • that there is a surplus of STEM people
  • so any calls for more H-1B visas is just an attempt to drive wages down further
  • which will result in fewer students yet going into these fields
