Eye opening and disheartening. I work w/ 90% Indians in a high tech field and they are laying off US citizens to bring over less qualified, far less knowledgeable, but cheaper, consultants.

...I wonder if Congress can be charged under the RICO laws.

Employers. It is supposed to be plural, not possessive as the author has made it.

It's a race to the bottom and no citizen of this country (except those who helped write that law) is winning.

Public school English is illustration of general ignorance.

IMO, it seems congress [and the rest of the governemnt] is generally making citizenship a liability instead of a boon.

U.S. citizenship is only relevant now with jobs requiring a security clearance.

That’s the whole idea, duh!

If businesses can’t outsource the work to a foreign country, they will do the next best thing, and import the cheap labor to here. Now EVERYBODY who works or owns a small business has to compete against dirt cheap third world labor, that also happens to be subsidized through government welfare programs, at the taxpayers expense. And you will be told to like it, because the cronies will tell you to like it.

But at least it increases shareholder value and profits, and damned the consequences.
