Re: I have no problem with gearing back the corrupt H1-B program

While I agree in principle with the H1-B program being corrupt and importing lower quality workers for less money, corporates don't care about anything except the bottom line.

If we look at manufacturing, those jobs (and the plants) were off-shored some time ago and they aren't coming back. The US has lost major skill sets over the years, such as machinists so that won't happen. The corporates decide to offshore IT and those skillsets will soon disappear also.

Follow the money or in this case.. the profit. Where's the most to be made? Higher cost (wages) US or lower wages/cost offshore?
