The govt should at least cease subsidizing the job exodus by ELIMINATING the L1 and H1B visa programs. They are subsidies for companies who want to flood the market with cheap labor.

Fine, get rid of the H1-Bs, I agree. But H1-Bs are a drop in the bucket, compared to the threat of offshoring. If anything, dropping the H1-Bs, will only accelerate offshoring. But hey, if it makes you feel better, fine.

I agree. I'll compete with cheap overseas labor, but please don't bring them here to compete with me.
