“Immigrants account for about 40% of highly skilled workers in America’s semiconductor industry.”
Well that’s not going to work. Maybe we should have a Tech Draft.

Don't expect the factory workers to have the same educational requirements and demographics as existing semiconductor workers.
Actual semiconductor design work doesn't happen at said factories. There's also not that much shortage in that space because colleges pump out plenty of EEs with semiconductor focus with Masters and PhDs. They can also struggle to find jobs because well, it's such a niche industry that anyone doing semiconductor design isn't going to leave their job for a non-semiconductor job easily and there's been a lot of industry consolidation in the semiconductor space. The electrical space is quite mature compared to decades ago.
