But instead of ranting, how about giving me a sustainable long term solution to this problem, and you know blocking the H1Bs is just a short term fix.

I know I gave you a solution many many posts ago. Maybe you forgot. In case you did not read the post I will repeat it.

Abolish the current immigration "Free For All" policy. Do the same thing that China does. If a corporation wants to sell their products in AMERICA they will have to MANUFACTURE and DEVELOP their products in AMERICA. All companies would be on a level playing field. Americans are still the worlds biggest consumers, any company that does not want to sell their products in America can go to China or India and forfeit the American consumer. It would be their FREE choice to do so, however I think they would not.

That is not a sustainable solution. China can do it, because they have a billion people working at slave wages, we can't afford have all the industries here and pay good wages, the cost of living for Americans are to high to maintain an industrial society. Now if you're going to force all companies to develop and manufacture their stuff in the U.S you might as well plunge the planet back into the dark ages, no other country would be willing to let all their companies be located in another country. Even the U.S doesn't allow its critical technologies and manufacturing techniques go overseas. If your solution is implemented, global trade will be reduced to almost nil, the price for just about everything would increase, and off course other countries will implement similar measure, and U.S companies will be equally restricted that means a shrinking GDP. Think before you post man.

"All companies would be on a level playing field"

No they won't, for companies that are located in other countries to compete they would've to rebuild their entire infrastructure in the U.S which would potentially bankrupt them. Sure the U.S has the largest economy in the world, but the rest of the world put together is still larger. If you force them like this, they may just do the same thing to American, and then we're all screwed.
