Fact is there is huge surplus of engineers from overseas. They are cheap, they are available and they fulfill the minimum skill level requirement.

Any sensible company would jump at the chance to get access to that pool of talent. I understand why Microsoft (and others) push for certain policies.

Any sensible national government would try to help its own citizens first, and develop domestic policies that help We The People rather than foreigners and rather than corporations. If the only policies in place are policies that help US citizens, then US companies may ask for different policies but they shouldn't get them. Through tax policies and tariffs, US companies could be discouraged from off-shoring.

If the US government works against its own citizens, then the citizens should overthrow the US government.

I know that big corporations want to call the shots, but that's not how our Constitution is written.

So you are saying the Government should do something. And what should they do? Let me guess....slap another regulation to shut out the foreigners. Because it is too much work for kids to go through 4 years of college, study tough subject like math, science and engineering, start out small and work their way up. Too much work for people to retrain themselves and compete globally. Its just easier to slap another regulation because we have so few of those.

Yeah the government should do something. And the companies must also spend money on training us so we can make our $100k/year that we are entitled to make. That is what the Constitution says.
