In India for example, most colleges are public and mostly free, so the entrance exams are very, very hard, only the very smart get admitted. In a country of 1 billion people, even if only 1% graduate college, that's 10 million people.

Why are we importing people from India?
Bingo.... Also importing foreign workers on work visas (Corporate sponsored) can pay the entry level workers significantly less... When my Uncle was working for J&J back in the late 90's he was telling me they would higher these guys from all over Asia, pay them about 2/3's the salary less benefits and when their visa was up see ya... They had tapped a constant pipeline of cheap white collar labor... I call that selling out you fellow countrymen to make a buck....
