I am a Christian Conservative.

I learned a great deal including that the Republican Congressman, Tom Tancredo from Colorado is working to end/limit H-1B visas.
And, I also learned that Hillary Clinton is for outsourcing.

I think this will be a big issue in the next election and I hope that common sense prevails (something you seem to be a bit short on - just this evening I hope).

This subject of this thread is *offshoring*. The issuance of H1B visas is another cause of a loss of IT jobs. My posts have all specifically referred to offshoring, not immigration.

Your post is inadvertently linking the two actions together, although they are very different situations.

Outsourcing refers to a business practice of contracting for services outside of a company. In a free market, the government has no say in this type of business practice. (Offshoring refers to conducting business in an other country.)

Issuing visas to aliens who will be working in this country falls under the realm of immigration control. We must carefully weigh the merits of public policy versus business practices. There has been a tremendous amount written, since the days of the Greek philosophers, on this very lengthy topic.

For now, though, I am discussing *offshoring*.
