I, too, hope the workers win.

This is not about hiring talent that's unavailable in the US. This is not about becoming more globally competitive. This is about the bottom line.

I'm sorry, but if you're a US company, you should go the extra bit to hire and train US workers, if at all possible. If you make your money of US customers, you should be hiring US workers. Firing your US staff and importing cheap H1-Bs is just giving a big middle finger to the country you make your money off of.

But, since when are big corporations ever sensitive to this kind of thing? No need, now, what with the Deal-Maker-in-Chief about to take office. The lobbyists won't even have to try to get what they want.
