All this will do is even further accelerate moving more jobs offshore.

I disagree. There are some tech jobs you just cannot send overseas. Desktop support, LAN Administration, etc.

Actually desktop support and LAN admin can be done from remote sites. In fact this is the latest technology development for both OS and storage support.

Telling companies who they can and cannot hire doesn't solve the problem. The root cause is economic competitiveness in the form or taxes and wages. US wages will come down as a result of competition but foriegn wages must come up to levels that enable American workers to compete. Discussions should be along those lines or further job moves offshore will happen.

That's what I thought. Half out network admins were laid off and their jobs now reside in........ India.
