I can assure you, engineers are out there who want to work in the US - both local and foreign. They just don't want to work in Arizona.
The climate in California is already bad enough, but at least Cali has some upsides.
You do know that AZ is one of the largest engineering states in the country right? Motorola, Stryker, Infosys,Cisco,Honeywell, Raytheon, general dynamics, on semiconductor. And more that I don't want to type all have r&d and fab in or near PHX. This is all about TSMC coming in thinking they are hot shot and that their name is worth more that the paycheck.
Giving green cards for Arizona isn't the issue, people will work where they're paid. The point I'm making is that TSMC is going to have to offer green cards for this work in the first place.
No, they just need to pay a competitive wage there's enough engineers to go around.
