So, there is massive fraud in the resumes, congress has proven this. But it doesn't matter. The corps just want a smart person who has potential and will work as indentured servitude.

That is exactly right. And that is what REALLY burns me up when those who have no clue as to the reality of the situation insist that the problem is with our schools. There are hundreds of thousands of HIGHLY educated and skilled engineers that simply can't get an interview, let alone a job. The lies and misrepresentations made to Congress in relation to a "shortage" of skilled workers in this country amounts to criminal fraud.

In fact, the last time I checked, it is a felony to conspire to violate someone's civil rights under color of law. That is exactly what has occured. Middle aged engineers are the victims of a conspiracy to deny them employment due to their age. Now who is going to enforce the law?

Who would want to work for a company that either cannot tell if an immigrant engineer has padded their resume, or that willfully hires cheap seatwarmers to bill to their clients? The Accentures and KPMGs and EDSs are all, deservedly, taking it in the shorts. All they cared about was billing more. The really stupid people are the ones that got ripped off by IT outsourcing/consulting outfits. Screw them all.
