Why??
Don’t they have keyboards in China and India?
Good reason for everyone to switch to Linux.
Microsoft can shove it up their collective smelly Obamas.
They’ve invented nothing, and they’ve ruined everything they stole.
Shove it Gates, and take your cr*p with you.
what makes companies and politicians do this sort of thing.
Who isn't much better, but at least they're not always in the news agitating for more imported workers.
There are no American programmers because the cheap Indian and Russian immigrants work for dirt. I think I might be the last WASP male programmer to come out of an American collage. The programming department was completely devoid of Americans. There were some blacks in the first year of the program, but they all dropped out. There were some WASP women, but they were all “MIS”, not “CS”. MIS is computer programing without the computers or the programming. Mostly it was Russians who smoked a lot and were generally nasty, and Indians who cheated like 5th graders.
I wish they would stop importing the 3rd world.
They can see the results of a modern liberal college education just as well as any other capitalist.
On the other hand, their desire to use oversea talent is also reflected in the quality of their products which have decreased in recent years as far as I am concerned.
I’d rather export Gates and his ilk instead
The key word is CHEAP.
They want the advantages of operating here while at the same time having convenient access to a cut-rate foreign labor force.
Just don’t let any of them to be over four-oh!
Those of us who work in IT know this is BS. These big IT companies know the imported labor will work without complaining, never speak up in meetings and are basically yes men (and women). They don’t really work cheaper, in fact there are laws in place to give them higher pay than many young people trying to get started.
They keep the white folk (and a few blacks) around to correct their english and teach them how our industries work.
Many of the IT recruiting companies are now owned by these same foreigners and we hear many of the staff online with them all day ‘helping’ the people do their work.
It’s amazing what these companies get away with.
No, I’m not a racist, I’m an American who gets the feeling I work in a third world country everyday I show up at the office. I know for a fact we have Americans who can do these jobs.
There is no shortage of American engineers .A very high percentage of American youth go to college. Thousands of engineers are graduated every year
India graduates more Engineers than America graduates all degrees.
There is good money to be made if you’re an Anglo in the tech business and can communicate well with foreigners. But the plain truth is that American born kids don’t want to do the math and the teachers don’t want to teach the math.
Indians here on H1B visas make more than double the average salary in New Jersey and that’s to start. That isn’t “cheap”.
And Linux code programming is mostly done by foreigners so don’t think you’re promoting the USofA with LINUX.
Redfog wants Microsoft to stop supporting queer marriages and public schools.
