Thanks to the H1B blocks thousands of jobs switched from US to my country. Same with UK.

I can't stress this enough, THANK YOU. (BTW you guys are welcome to [] my country and have a much better quality of life for similar positions.)

Regards,

Argentina & friends.

Edit: minor style.

You are ok if all of Haiti moved into your country, took jobs at a salary lower than people in Argentina and caused tonnes of ARGENTINEAN people to become unemployed?

We are one of the countries with the largest immigration in the world if you consider immigrants per-capita. This is consistent with our history, we used to be a favorite destination for Europeans a hundred years ago and now for fellow Latin Americans. There are always some right wing idiots complaining, but most of the country welcomes immigrants. Also in the last couple of years we are again a favorite destination for Europeans, you see them everywhere and not just as tourists.

More info, but a bit outdated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_in_Argentina

  "Nearly a million permanent residency applications were filed from 2000 to 2008[]"

And we are just about 40 million. :)
