"Our shortage of scientists and engineers will only get worse with time, because the supply coming from American colleges is a mere trickle."


This is BS; there is not a shortage of scientists and engineers. If there were, the pay and working conditions would be a lot better and they would be better utilized. There are far too many new PhD scientists on their third or forth post-doc. I know of new engineering school graduates looking for jobs for over a year. The employers want to pay low wages for 10-15 years of experience and/or the top of the class. They have little interest in making an investment in new personnel. If allowed, it will become a "race to the bottom". All jobs (including yours - present and future) can be "cheapened" and exported if that is what is allowed.
