Really? What if you need a bunch of translation/localization work done. America has a shortage of people who are bilingually fluent and have the engineering skill, in many of the needed cultures and languages.

Do you think companies are going to go to war bidding up salaries for a tiny number of qualified American candidates who can do this work, or are they going to outsource to overseas firms that can do the work?

So then the question is, do you want this work being done here, in America, paying taxes here, or do you want some consulting company in Asia or Eastern Europe to get the money?
