Portal Player ( design company for the iPod and iPhone chips ) discovered that when they moved much of their stuff to Korea ... Samsung was able to get the technology and Portal learned the hard way not to move offshore ... they don't exist anymore nor does my job at Portal because of it. AGAIN if you're NOT in the industry and live and breathe it EVERY day ... you don't know what your talking about
Your anecdotes do confirm my claim that the suits who offshore their engineering and other activities are idiots. But they're still doing it.
And that's part of what's driving that 8.6% unemployment rate. It's not due to H1Bs. It's because those jobs went somewhere else. If they got rid of the H1Bs here, it's most likely that the jobs would follow them back home.
