The H1Bs and L1s are a corrupt manipulation of our laws to placate certain interests...IOW corrupt. I don't think moving a business or outsourcing should be illegal, that would be insane in a free market. If you want to know the truth the upside to this is that the unions are going to take a bath and we're going to have to become competitive.
That said while I wouldn't want outsourcing to become illegal, I know a company that's about to shift all of it's staff assets overseas, they're setting it up on the QT as we speak. They don't want anyone to know, but I'm going to see to it that EVERYONE knows, they could bite me. They're not going to like me very much after I blow their cover, but that's their problem.
I don't believe in a law for everything, there are lots of ways to handle bad behavior. When that guy shot himself in the parking lot of Bank of America, I closed all my accounts with them the next day after doing business with them for 8 years.
Let me be clear, I love freedom and free markets, even if it costs me hardship and money. I just think business should be conducted legally, fairly and morally. You know, like that Bible thingy says.
LOL Somehow I knew that would be your answer .
AA live with the fact that as long as all manufacturing is outsourced and as long as the lower level tech jobs are being outsourced , I think it is the most moral thing to allow those companies that stay in this country to seek the cheapest labor available, be that illegal immigrants or imported engineers. That is the free market and was an original part of the NAFTA accord that you all hailed.
You only believe the imported labor is "corruption" because it may impact YOU
Get in line , the US Government has been screwing American workers for almost ten years..it just happens to be your turn now
As for the unions..that is an old fashioned red herring
All those banking jobs and accounting jobs and the jobs at Dell or HP that are now in India were not Union jobs.
I go back to my original observation.
It is acceptable for the out of work union worker to have to sell apples on street corners if necessity as long as you can drive your Lexas
Those days are gone AA There will be little interest among those displaced men to support your cause.Now it is their turn to say "Let them eat cake"
