I'm not, either. Specifically, I think US and India should be joined at the hip. Let them produce all the engineers we need, regardless of the intellectual imbalance that causes their society. But, I need to shut up....

Why don't you start your own company to compete with your current company? Non-competes aren't enforceable in CA.
Anything and everything that can be replaced by AGI and AI will be done. The creative class will emerge due to a new resource progressive adaptability. All redundancies will be eliminated and complete streamlining of Corporatocracy will occur. I.e. WebMD, Legalzoom and online schooling (Lawyers, Doctors and Educators)

I considered it as a profitable side business, but staffing & training isn't my passion ....I'd have to found it and let someone take the reigns after a while. I've got too many projects as is unfortunately. Yes, I know I'm venting and not offering to fix the problem.
Brain drain from developing countries does pose an ethical quandry not just in the immediate future but even from a biological/evolutionary stand point. Are we creating an unintentional eugenics program through merit immigration? On the other side of the ethics question, how can we fault someone from seeking a better life even if it means leaving for another land? Would we fault soviet defectors after all?

I said "many cases" not all cases. There are also benefits to being a citizen that undocumented residents do not enjoy. One case where undocumented residents are treated better than citizens, at least in 19 states is in qualifying for the discounted in-state tuition:
https://www.ncsl.org/research/education/undocumented-student-tuition-overview.aspx
The downside and why everyone does not do that, from the link above:
"Even if undocumented students attend college, they will not be employable if they are still undocumented after graduation. A 2005 Wall Street Journal article depicts the grim situation facing Texas students who attend college under the undocumented student tuition law, and find themselves with a degree, but no job."
Sounds horrible. At least in the office, if it's large enough, you can go somewhere else if you don't want to be bothered.
That changed with DACA
In order to qualify for in-state tuition they had to have met the same basic standard as a citizen would have to qualify for in-state tuition, generally having gone to high school for at least 3 years in the state. So no, they're not being treated "better" than U.S. citizens, just the same (I realize there a technical differences in the qualification we could quibble about that made it not exactly the same, but it's close enough that we can all reasonably agree there's no real difference in practice).
And I have to point out, that's just one case, not many

Not to mention it's not even an advantage. All citizens are welcome to move to the state of their choice, go to high school there and pay property taxes through rent or ownerships which would give them the right to get in-state tuition. The same way undocumented students do.
Anything can happen in this pandemic situation. There is a huge number of layoffs being done by different companies and people are getting jobless.
