Immigration is bad for America, but it's only partly killing CS.
The reason that outsourced labor is fucking up CS is because of quality. Code monkeys doing mass simple code with little error checking, integration to other systems, consistent structuring, and a lot of other little things.
It's the method of education in both China and India: rote memorization as a skillset, and then the production of cheap labor in a very literal term.
The thing that was explained to me is that you could tell the off-shore team to build anything and they'd build it. Normally in an efficient, poorly designed way, that didn't really look to satisfy the user-experience, and was utterly uncreative.
Yeah, the replacements are pretty shit. I'm not even convinced it saves money because they're so bad at what they do, but the tech sector "thinks" it does so it will continue.
It definitely doesn't save money. They just don't care because they are hoping that the consumer will keep buying crap.
It's like why people keep buying shit from Walmart instead of genuine products from reputable producers, even when they know it will break in a year. Then they fix it and complain that no one makes anything like they used to.
Well yeah, not at the price point you're asking considering inflation.
You want to know why people don't make things like they used to? Because if you made things like they used to, that sewing machine would have been 25% of your paycheck. That's why the one I have from 1903 still works.
Instead, the money got devalued, the wages didn't increase, the corporations got bigger, so everyone cut down on quality.
