This article is proof positive that the CEOs of these corporations have been trumped. They kid no one: they are completely leveraged on H1-B workers and foreigners to make decisions on what to develop and where to develop it. How genuine is this: Krishna Bharat, a former H1-B visa holder from India I suspect and Google's principal scientist, recommends sending all the R&D and technology jobs for Google to where -INDIA, surprise, surprise, surprise? I'll bet if one were to analyze the make up of the major decision loops in these pro-outsourcing companies he/she would find a preponderance of H1-B and other like individuals in them. No CEO or analyst with more than a half wit would recommend sending such valuable work overseas. I doubt they are really saving any money, yet there are significant risks with such decisions that they never talk about.

I've been through business school (MBA) and one of the things I learned is that outsourcing your core competencies is a path to business failure. Since the pay of the CEO isn't tied to anything but short-term profits, why should they care if the company goes downhill in the long-term?

These CEO's kow exactly what they are doing. Lining their own pockets at the expense of their fellow citizens and their own stakeholders.
