And where do you get the idea we pay for universities in India, much less China? Like I said, unless these people are frauds (some certainly are - I have seen some firsthand) or seat-warmers for dishonest consulting firms, smart immigrants are a huge benefit.
I also make a lot of money from working for overseas companies. Last year 30% of my billable hours and 40% of my gross were on project located in Europe. We need to make high-value professional work more easily internationalizable. It's good for us.
I would like to see secure borders and wetbacks out of our schools, hospitals, prisons, and welfare programs first. Sriram the software guy is the least of our worries.
As I had earlier mentioned, I had incorrectly thought that we already had a totalization agreement with India. Someone earlier had stated as such, and I had assumed that it was a fact. BUT, if they DO send most of their money home, don't you think some of it finds its way to those institutions?

Not at the expense of America. There might be a short term bonanza for corporations, but the long term costs are high.

It might be good for globe trotters such as yourself. It is NOT good for the rest of us.

Sriram is taking my job. Sriram IS my worry, along with those who have pushed for him to be sitting in my chair.
