I had several friends who were in tech and had to train their H1B replacements, since the company was cutting costs.

I did that myself-way back-wow time flies!

In an integrated world, this is what, we face regardless of what laws we place. The future is where we can work anywhere, and still get our job done.
How are we gonna remain numero uno when we don't produce enough STEM workers?

By importing the best that would be part of us. We are all imports in America.

If H1B was about getting the best, why is the salary requirement so low? Why is there no requirement to show that no American has the ability to do the job? Why is there no special skill / education requirement? Why can't H1B visa holders change jobs? Why are the spouses of H1B visa holders able to work?

Currently H1B categories doesn't include "landlord" as special skill. I'm all for adding it (while removing IT-related stuff, of course). It's time we have landlords more eager to please their tenants at 2am on Tuesday night while taking in half the rent.

s. How can we not have have a shortage of skilled STEM professionals?

Because it only takes a few great people to produce amazing results in technology. Millions of Indian IT workers decrease productivity instead of increase it by complicating what can be done simply.

Yes, it only takes a few great people to produce amazing results that benefit us all. Those few great people are one in a million. If we have only a few people to begin with, our odds of finding that one diamond in the rough is greatly diminished.
I still don't understand the logic of keeping out the wealth makers, and keeping in the wealth takers.

I think I disagree with you about that one in a million. I think in a right system and proper principles leadership everyone can be that person, given the opportunity. Because all those "gems" who came here, were nothing in their own country, and coming here America's system allowed them to be great. I believe the system that is based on freedom is the one that will do that.
