While it maybe easy to stop Indian workers from coming to US on H1B by tightening visa regulations, American jobs moving to India cannot be stopped. Even as American corporations announce massive layoffs, they are making tens of million $ investments in India and hiring 1000s in India. GE , AOL , Microsoft , Oracle, Adobe , IBM , yahoo etc are currently hiring 10s of engineers each month in Bangalore and New Delhi. Its not the Indian CEOs who are doing this. These jobs , like manufacturing jobs which went to China in 80s will never comeback to US.

I think you are right there. The solution?? Don't really have a clue.

I can still remember when NAFTA was being touted as the solution of everything. We were told we would send manufacturing jobs overseas and the US would be the leader in technology. Everyone laughed at the blue collar worker who was put out of work and told 'Get some education, get into the technological field.' We were going to export technology - of course they didn't say that along with the technology, we would also export those tech jobs, as well.

A country cannot survive this way.
