Say hello to your new foreign masters. Sony-Erickson is a bunch of foreigners. So is BP for that matter and they are sending our coasts and our people there into ruination.

When a country weakens itself the outsiders come in for the kill. I know I’m being dramatic but I speak the truth. Say someone is a veteran of our military, is unemployed, and applies to Sony-Erikson. Are you dumb enough to think they care?

In addition, for many years now (at least back to a point in the 1990's) companies have advertised tech (programming, engineering, science, math) jobs for guest workers (e.g. H-1B's) only; contrary to popular opinion it has been perfectly legal.

In fact, the bean counters have mandated that the mangers in charge of getting the actual work done, hire x number of guest workers or off shore workers... again totally legal.

Who needs Americans whose salary requirements include onerous levels of taxation, when you can hire guest workers (who often pay no or partial taxes) or off shore workers who can live on the handsome sum of $5,000 or $10,000 per year?
