    Dear A. Coward,

    YOU bring a bowl load of offal to the conversation! Seriously, it stinks!
    Tons of immigrants that come to this great country (just as your ancestors did maybe a few centuries ago) do it for the sole purpose of looking for a better living. Once they've found it, there's no reason to give it up and go back to their previous way of living. A few of them do go back, but that's not the norm. They pay taxes! They've died in war where US soldiers have participated! AND THEY CONTINUE TO DIE IN THE CURRENT WAR AGAINST TERRORISTS! Why don't you do your homework and check out the number of immigrants dead as US soldiers in wars. You'll be surprised!

    Going back to the real topic at hand.

    Corporations/Companies that are driving force behind importing work are doing it to increase supply and lower demand. Economics 101 and the salary goes down. There are voids where a specific type person is needed for a very specific job and a company is having a hard time filling that position. What seems to be the case most often is the company is actually looking to fill a specific job at a specific WAGE and can not find someone to do that. That is why companies that have been doing business for years suddendly have a need for foreign workers and the current employees are let go, it is not that the job changed, it is the wages changed.

    Once again, I respectfully disagree with you. Corporations/Companies are in the business of making money. PERIOD. It doesn't have to with a "specific job at a specific WAGE". We have to give credits where it's due, and we have to realize technology is not a "US thing", but instead, it's a "World thing". It has to do with foreigners knowing their crafts very well and their standard of living, being much lower that ours, allows them to live with a much lower wage than ours at the States. All big companies, here in the US, has seen an opportunity of expanding their empires by "out sourcing" IT jobs abroad (some call his exploitation, but that's another story). Anyways, the bottom line is that us, US citizens, should start respecting the talents of others from another nationality!
