I work for, with and among the most advanced Tech companies in the world.
What I see is even core technology research being distributed throughout the world and even to adversarial nations.
And ALL of the manufacturing is "over there". Half of all workers are H-1B or past H-1B with a green card.
Anyone who supports that is undermining the core, strategic security interests of the United States.
I live a couple miles from the Microsoft main campus, and I have posted dozens of comments and articles on the flagrant and near-criminal abuse of H-1B.
However, I consider H-1B to be a symptom of “corporatism” (complicity between government and big business), not “Conservatism.”
I also agree that distributing our core technologies is military suicide, but economically, I'm not so sure.
I would say the three greatest beneficiaries of our industrial and IT technology are Mexico, China, and India.
Yet, those countries are also the three leading sources of legal immigration to the USA.
If our technology is so bountiful, why do millions of their citizens want to move to America, but almost no mature American adults want to emigrate to Mexico, China, or India?
