Obvious National Security Threat
Fellow EE train driver here. Electrical engineering is not a cake walk. Many students can't complete the degree. Corporations did this to themselves. They pay engineers pennies, hollow out their engineering departments, outsource the work, and move the engineering abroad. This sends a message loud and clear that they don't want skilled engineers in this country. Engineers design and create the technology companies (and countries) need to survive and at the end of the day they're let go as soon as the company feels they can do without them or can pay someone less in some other country.
This is happening more and more with software and automation engineers now too.
