Once again American workers have seen another blow to their ability to earn a living. Congress has once again caved to money bearing political lobbyists and upped the number of H1-B visas and L1 visas. This year that number is almost 750,000 IT workers.
There are hundreds of stories of employees being forced to train their successors when they are being laid off and yet our elected officials still do it. They say we Americans are not trained well enough to do the jobs needed; yet they expect us to train our replacements. It seems to me if we can train our replacements, we probably know what we are doing.
In order for this to stop we all have to make absolutely sure that our elected (or bought) officials know that we won’t stand for this. Slowly the American way of life is being eroded away. At some point it is going to be too late to take a stand against it.
Now I know there are a lot of people that can say this doesn’t affect me, but does it really affect them? You bet. These days so many of our kids are brought up on high tech from game boys to PC’s and the reality is that as time goes on more and more jobs are going to be a mix of High Tech and some other specialty. Your kids could be forced to go through what I personally have gone through, and that hundreds of thousands of Americans are going through right now.
So what can you do? It is simple, if everyone that reads this would take but 5 minutes of their time to contact their state government and let them know how you feel on the subject you can Make a Difference. Just simply send them and email or written letter saying “Stop supporting the outsourcing of American Jobs”. That is all it takes. If we all do that, you can bet things will change. But that sad truth is that by saying nothing we are almost condoning it being done.
As an American you have the right to speak up, and you have to use it or you will lose it. So take the time and let them know this isn’t right.

well, outsourcing can actually save any company several million dollars because of cheap labor ~”"
