Don't like the source? Google "global shortage of skilled workers" or similar. I work with professional development in process industries (primarily oil and gas, but anything that requires engineers and technicians) and it's a global problem that ANYONE in the industry will acknowledge.
Even as we are laying off workers in the oil-patch, there is a long term demographic crisis of epic proportion within the petro-chem industries.
While concerns about terrorism may (or may not) be well founded, the fact that there is a shortage of global SKILLED workers is not debatable. (the shortage is even worse in the Mid East, FWIW)
H1-B's are not hired for skilled trades..eg skilled Blue Collar worker jobs. Your link is about skilled blue collar workers.
H1-B's are brought here for white collar jobs.
With the push for everyone in America to go to college you won't get any skilled blue collar workers.
But don't fret..Congress has created a new W Visa for blue collar workers to come to the US to get jobs.

A college education is required for most SKILLED blue collar jobs these days. I'm not talking about maintenance mechanics. I'm talking about control specialists, I&C Techs, Control Room Operators, etc. There is a huge skills gap.
The push to get people to college will help with this (most are 2 year degrees anyway), but to bring this back on topic, if you are going to restrict immigration, this simply needs to be addressed.

These refugees are not going to fill that gap.
The majority of these refugees are women and children.
I am an immigrant who has been through the H1B process myself.
All I can say is that there are no laws in place that say at the time of job interview an American citizen should get preference over a person with same qualifications on a work visa. If this important clause can be added, it should take care of the rest.
Back in 2013 Obama promised to allow 100,000 muslims per year to enter the country for the next 5 years. According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations there are now approximately 7 million Muslims in the country. Experts keep telling us that only a small percentage are radicals nothing to worry about. Fine lets use a figure of only 1%(although the honest number is a lot higher). That would mean we currently have approximately 70,000 radicals living in the country. My friends if we don't wake up soon we'll all be committing national suicide.
France. A new, widely-covered poll shows that a full 16% of French people have positive attitudes toward ISIS. That includes 27% of French between the ages of 18-24. Anne-Elizabeth Moutet of Newsweek wrote, “This is the ideology of young French Muslims from immigrant backgrounds…these are the same people who torch synagogues.”
.
51% of American Muslims think that Muslims in America should have the choice to be under Sharia Law instead of US Law. 32% Disagree, 17% undecided. Hopefully the younger generations are more pro-US Law.
29% of US Muslims say it is justifiable to use violence against those who insult Islam.
25% of US Muslims say violence is sometimes justifiable against fellow Americans to promote global Jihad.
Poll after poll shows the same results. The way Muslims treat Non-Muslims in Muslim majority countries is deplorable.
Yet people decide to bury their head in the sand.
I am glad I live in the U.S. and not Europe, with their larger Muslim population percentages, sh*ts going to hit the fan there sooner than here, giving US time to react and sort issues within the border.
They only want to talk about it on an intellectual level.
They don't want to deal with the reality of it.
