A very timely article. In Detroit over the last year we have lost about 75,000 engineering and technical jobs, nearly all of them from middle aged, middle level, typically white, males. The only resort they have is temporary contract work, competing with the H1-Bs directly. Their retirement is gone, their kids education consist of night school at community college, they cannot get decent insurance as their health fails and they are destined to live out the remains of their lives doing these temporary jobs.
BUT!
The Crap filled management, like the ex Ford CEO Nasser and his hero Jack Welch, pride themselves in how much money they have saved the company by screwing as many people as they can get their hands on. And the poor H1-B saps are just useful idiots in this sick game.
