I see a lot of them "furriners" in my experiences, working for US companies with lists of degrees and certifications a mile long (here on H1B visas). Most talk the buzzwords and fill their resumes with the techno-chatter degrees from foreign "schools" that impress the headhunters, along with salary demands that fit the CFO's budget. The money counters think they got a great deal by hiring "offshore" and firing their long-term skilled and (they think) overpriced technical US employees to save $$$. In the long run, these replacements aren't worth the fuel to send them back to where they came from, and end up burdening the companies vendors (me) to bail their butt out when they can't deliver their companies requirements.

I've already "Gone Galt" on one business doing this practice, as I am sick and tired of the management of US companies shafting US citizens for the short-term, their own companies, and the US in particular in the long-term...

Lord knows, there's going to be hell to pay....

There are CERTAIN countries where those degrees and certifications are literally not even worth using as toilet paper; their H1B people (with some exceptions) are basically (barely) warm bodies; I’m sure that you and I would agree to that short list. Most European, and any Eastern European country and China aren’t on that list. I, also, am on “the clean-up crew”, so to speak.
