I don't think that employing foreigners violates any allegiance to the U.S. If he did not run the best operation (including utilizing overseas resources) that he could he would be hurting other U.S. citizens. There are a lot of people who have CSCO in the 401(k)s who would like to see CSCO move up. Customers would essentially be taxed also, if he did'nt utilize the resources as best as he could. You may disagree, and say that what he is doing is not the best for business, but I don't think it is fair to say that this is an allegiance problem.

I was one of those onshore programmers who was threatened by offshoring. My solution was to start my own offshore operation, and I've got to say it's been a great (and profitable) experience.

And the kicker is that one of our top customers is from India, go figure!

And, with regard to all the money supposedly going offshore...much of it has actually come directly back to the USA as tourism (I would say the *real* winner here is Mickey Mouse).
