Don't talk about Outsourcing without mentioning:
INSOURCING and Amnesty.
H1B visas are killing American Hitech jobs. And the legislation is supported by the Republican Party. In 2000 and 2001 there were supposed to be ONLY 400,000 H1B visas issued. But instead, there were more than 700,000 issued because of the exemptions in the law allowing education and non-profit jobs to not count against the 200,000 a year cap.
The exceptions continue so there is, in reality, no cap. This does not count the hundreds of thousands of L1 visas.

So you have Outsourcing and In-sourcing, what pray tell will the GOP call the kinda sorta amnesty for 12 million Illegal Invading aliens? The-rest-of-sourcing?

As soon as new jobs appear the GOP and Dems will In-source them as fast as possible.

Alexander Hamilton who wrote in his 1791 report as Treasury Secretary, "The wealth...independence and security of a Country, appear to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufactures. Every nation ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of national supply."

Henry Clay: "Poverty befalls any nation that neglects and abandons the care of its own industry, leaving it exposed to the action of foreign powers--there is a remedy and that consists in --adopting a Genuine American System accomplished by the establishment of a tariff--with the view of promoting American industry--the cause is the cause of the country, and it must and it will prevail."

"(1840s) To David Ricardo's argument that we should abandon the home industry and rely on imports if a foreign nation could manufacture more cheaply, Friedrich List's reply was withering: 'Who would be consoled for the loss of an arm by the knowing that he had nevertheless bought his shirts forty percent cheaper

So its really just about the skin color of the person getting the job? My intention in participating in this thread was to discuss outsourcing. I don't want it to dengrate into an attack on people who may or many not look like us.
