To be honest I don't really care that much about the topic. Life goes on if jobs are won or lost. It has and always will. People will still get by. I'd like to experience working in a real foreign country though and right now it takes to much paperwork.
I'm sick and tired of people blaming immigrant workers for someone else losing their job. I've had family and friends lose their jobs and the first people they blame are immigrants. Does anyone really wanna work for a company that practices that kind of business?
I haven't seen Iraqi military attacking the land I happen to be occupying, so no one is defending me from anything.
Do you want to put up a huge wall around your precious country and not let people in or out? Gee, sounds an awful lot like something the communists did. But no, you're nothing like them, you're just protecting yourself, right? Hahahaha. Land of the free indeed.
I've been working in the U.S for almost 2 years now, all on TN Visa's. I've had 3 different jobs, I've never been laid off, and I've always been able to find a better oppurtunity. Guess I'm just lucky.
Maybe I'm missing the point of the whole discussion. Is Sun laying off positions in the U.S and hiring the equivalent position overseas? If that's the case there's not a whole lot that can be done about that is there?
Or are they laying off positions in the U.S and importing H1-B's to live here in the U.S? That sounds a little shady, but are you surprised by the moves corporations make to save a couple bucks? What would people say if they laid off Americans to replace them with cheaper Americans? I do admire the H1-B recipients for packing up and moving thousands of miles away from their family and friends to try and make a better life for themselves.
My current employer just went through a round of lay offs, I'm on contract and a visa so I thought I'd be gone for sure. Instead they let a full time person go. Do I feel bad that I'm taking an American job, not really.
Think of the current times as weeding out those who know from those who don't. If these senior people know what they're doing they shouldn't have a problem finding new work somewhere.
In any case I think that the world job market should be more like the E.U, being able to work in any coutry without the need for a little piece of paper authorizing said work.
