(15,139 posts)Philippines when I'm trying to solve a tech issue. "Bob" is just a guy trying to earn a living, and I respect that. But chances are excellent that thanks to corporate greed he is depriving an American of a job, and that is not ok.
Same with the H1-B folks. It isn't their fault that American companies hire them to cut costs. But it's done at the expense of Americans who've paid big money to earn degrees in technical fields only to find themselves competing in the job market against foreign born workers willing to work for less. Simply not fair. A travesty that American politicians allow this to happen at all. But getting their palms greased by greedy corrupt corporations is what politics is really all about these days, and politicians, with few exceptions, are all about the $$$$.
