Personally, I prefer working with the chinese: they are very smart and hard working, although they can be sneaky at times, and their english often sucks

Perhaps your organization is not doing good recruiting, does not have comparable compensation programs or is not an attractive employer for qualified US students. I don't believe qualified organizations are finding it difficult to attract excellent graduates in the sciences and engineering. I disagree that American students are dumb or lazy.

Your generalization is quite unwarranted.
