I am an individual. I want no part of your "collective society."

I love America because it still is the only place on earth I have a chance of being an individual. I pray that the alleged "victims" of corporate outsourcing do not prevent me from hiring or firing whoever I like.

Hire and fire them here. But the H1-B visa program was predicated on the notion that there was a shortage of tech workers in the mid-to-late 1990s. That is no longer the case, and it should be ended.

BTW, most of the H1-B holders I have worked with weren't worth much, but they worked for peanuts, so they got hired.

then you better start lobbying to stop people whose jobs have been offshored from voting.

And why do you think you have this chance? Because our standard of living is much higher. You can be an individual all you want over in India or Pakistan, you'll just be working 12 hours out of the day to put some food in your mouth.
I understand where you are coming from, but we, as Americans, have to stick together and try and improve the standard of living for all of our citizens. Otherwise we're just a bunch of mercenaries. Mercenaries didn't found this country, nor did they found Galt's Gulch.

I don't want to stop you from hiring and firing who you want. I would like you to follow the laws when you hire peole. Some companies don't and save money that way. I would like to see government at all levels become much, much smaller so that the tax burden on American workers is not 40-50% of their pay, which pretty much places them as far more expensive than an Indian. I do not see anything wrong with wanting immigration laws enforced and government made smaller.
