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.

The same thing has spread to accounting; I work with an external auditor (one of the big firms), and of the four people I work with one was imported from the Philippines (young, no CPA, getting $60K), one was imported from India, one was imported from Canada (she says the process took five years, but she would return to Canada if Obama loses his re-election bid), and the last one is an American.
America has plenty of accountants that would love to have those jobs; in fact, the Americans that USED TO have those jobs would love to have them back.
We need a populist conservative option in politics. I'm sick of being presented the choice of a Communist versus a corporatist.
