Morgan Spurlock did an episode about a guy who followed his job to India. The most interesting part was the attitude of the Indians. They understand the anger Americans have over the issue but also know that the jobs won’t stay there forever.
One important consideration here is that many high-tech jobs are -- by definition -- shaky at best, for the reasons cited here. In any high-tech service industry it's very easy to get an office operation up and running halfway around the world -- especially in comparison to a manufacturing company where the cost of building a new plant is enormous. This means that the jobs will likely flow to any country where a well-educated work force (especially a "docile" one like India's) can do things for a fraction of what it would cost here in the U.S.
What or who is Morgan Spurlock, or is that something I'm expected to know?
I don't have any particular anger about the location. India has much more sensible immigration laws than the US and I got Mrs. Altair here within a few days rather than having to deal with lawyers, thousands of dollars of lawyers fees and the rest of that Obama.
I guess I need to post something too about Indian Immigration laws. They're draconian compared to Japan. I supposed I'm going to have to give up the fight to keep an unadorned "immigration" as well as I had to give up on the term "hacker". When I say "immigration", I mean "legal immigration" and when I say "hacker", I mean uber programmer. Sigh.
