Hi Thin Mike and others,
I happen to agree with that agenda and the threat of off-shore outsourcing is
quite real. I have a number of friends who have been "replaced" by the
outsourcing craze of the last few years. There was an articl in one of the May
issues of Fortune on how rampant this has become. One of the interesting
things about this article was that there are many occupations that are being
threatened -- not just IT.
Also, another interesting site to visit regarding the H1-B battle is:
http://www.h1b.info/
It to has an agenda. But today, who doesn't?
