Since our country’s economy is based on competition, this move should surprise no one.
People still buying Dells?
The cheap labor express continues, supported by constitutional conservatives such as Bush, Cruz, Kasich, Rubio, Fiorina and a slew of conservative pundits.
Intel did the same thing two years ago.
The day after the 5k people were forced to take early retirement, 1000 jobs opened up in India.
Probably a bunch more were hired after I left.
So I’ll paint the picture. Dell, perhaps manufactured and sold more PCs than anyone in history took on tons of debt to finance their privatization. Now to finance the largest tech merger in history they take on more debt. Each time undoubtedly corporate officers get a giant piece of pie.
Now to correct the balance sheets they are firing U.S. workers and importing cheaper foreign labor, and our immigration system is so chaotic because of progressive meddling this will be allowed to happen. Also the SEC is AWOL.
Does that about sum it up? We allow this to happen, we pay for it to happen and we have no advocate to stop it from happening. So much for “of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Kid 2: "Aw, crap!"
Serious ammo for for Trump.
The bank/Wall Street debt parade.... US workers displaced by the H-1B imports....
Dell.. Putting America LAST. These H1-B visas are insane corporate welfare. The taxpayer will get stuck paying for welfare benefits for those that don’t find jobs.
Dude. I am NOT getting a Dell.
I am an Field Service Engineer for EMC and an employee with them for the past 20 years. Almost the entire project management department and Implementation specialist positions are out of India now I fear I may be the next victim of this unabated H1B scam from this merger. I wish someone would bring this to Trump’s attention. I think this H1B scam has done more damage to our econonomy than anything else and I rarely here anyone talk about it. The only one on the radio that mentions it as a threat to our economy is Michael Savage.
Government regulation and taxes strangles business in America. The American worker has become expendable. Close to 100 million out of work but my government says the unemployment rate is a steady 5%. Free-market economy and Friedman principles should win the day but something is terribly wrong with our country and how it functions. Government is the solution only if it gets out of the way at home and protects our interest abroad.
More ammunition for Trump
Let’s not forget that Ted Cruz lobbied for another 325,000 H-1B foreign tech workers for this year because his bribers claimed they couldn’t get enough Americans.
Karl Denninger had an interesting approach to FIX these Problems
“Change US law so that in order to bring a suit in the United States court system related to copyright, patent or trademark infringement you must have substantially designed and built said thing in the United States, using legal US workers, including but not limited to actual assembly.
If not then you have to sue in wherever you did such work — you cannot sue in the United States.”

My version would require at least 90% of the ENTIRE COMPANY and EMPLOYEES be PHYSICALLY LOCATED in the US, And ALL EMPLOYEES be Legal US Residents or Citizens, NO H1B in excess of 10% of your Workforce or NO COURTS FOR YOU.
EMC is in Mass and VMWare is in Cali, so thick could help Trump gain momentum in these solidly blue states.
???
It’s Tough Being Over 40 in Silicon Valley
Creepy language nanny Gary Johnson is running on a campaign of unlimited H1-b visas.
Death to the H-1B
IOW, it’s going to take twice as many H-1B employees than Americans.
Dispicable for Dell to do that!
Absolutely disgusting....
