Laid-Off Disney IT Workers Decry Offshoring At Trump Rally (computerworld.com)

dcblogs writes: Two former Disney IT workers spoke at a Donald Trump campaign rally on Sunday, telling about the shock of having to train their foreign replacements. Speaking at the large rally in Madison, Ala. was Dena Moore, a former Disney IT worker who trained her foreign replacement, and said tech workers are reluctant to talk about the problem. IT workers "are afraid, they're in shock," she told the cheering crowd. "They're not coming forward because we have been taught all our lives to make do and keep going on. But you know what? This little old grandma is going to stand up for what's right. "The fact is that Americans are losing their jobs to foreigners," said Moore. "I believe Mr. Trump is for Americans first."

    So it's a good thing that Trump brought up this issue; it'll force the other candidates to address it

    There's also the small fact that Bernie Sanders has already been addressing it -- long before Trump brought it up, in fact -- and conveniently has none of Trump's racist baggage either.
