[These foreign workers force the salaries down and are beholden to their employers for lower than marketplace wages]z

Thanks for a real post. It is so easy to be flip about the hardship of other people - until it hits you. What a lot of people do not realize is, these foreign workers can do anything an American worker can do and unless something is stopped here - the greedy politicians will continue to force it upon the American workers in return for contributions.

I realize I am very simplistic, but I fail to see ever, how it is good to put an American worker out of work, put in a foreign worker who works for less, pays little or no taxes, sends most of the money home and has no interest or allegiance to this country. That is not the way to build or maintain a country. Just ridiculous

While it maybe easy to stop Indian workers from coming to US on H1B by tightening visa regulations, American jobs moving to India cannot be stopped. Even as American corporations announce massive layoffs, they are making tens of million $ investments in India and hiring 1000s in India. GE , AOL , Microsoft , Oracle, Adobe , IBM , yahoo etc are currently hiring 10s of engineers each month in Bangalore and New Delhi. Its not the Indian CEOs who are doing this. These jobs , like manufacturing jobs which went to China in 80s will never comeback to US.
