I agree. Insanity.
Yes, we cross-posted.
We desperately need more doctors—have you seen the waiting times for an appointment under Romneycare?
And the more high-skilled techies we have, the bigger share of the global IT market we can command. It’s not a zero-sum pie.
My son’s a techie. He’s just fine with keeping the foreigners out and keeping the competition for jobs high.
Besides, he says they aren’t really qualified.
That’s really up to employers to decide—and suffer from if they decide incorrectly.
I think he’s being short-sighted. (I’m in the industry as well, and good techies with current skills are in demand everywhere.)
