Don't worry Mick, Rosa DeLauro will take you to her bosom and protect you from those scary, swarthy foreigners.

I'm not scared of them in fact I know quite a few of them. 75% of the people I work with are H1b's and most of them are some of the sharpest people I've met. I definitely respect them.

Which also is why I'm so concerned. The average American worker can not and should not be expected to compete (through overseas outsourcing) with someone making 1/2 their salary or thereabouts (in the case of L-1's) or 1/8th to 1/10th their salary in the case of outsourcing it doesn't make sense.

Thank you for providing some common sense counter point to the whiney "American dream is gone" defeatists on this thread. I'm sorry I don't have the time to debate the protectionist knuckle-draggers tonight. Fortunately you have done a superb job on your own.
