Well, if the visa cap isn't raised, more companies will just outsource entire operations to other countries (such as India) rather than import some cheaper labor to the US.

I think the operations that can move have probably already done so for a better degree. I have found myself outsourced along with a large portion of the American telecommunications industry. So I guess we're in the same boat.

The fact that American industry IS outsourcing doesn't mean that it's always viable to do so. The fact is that immigrants have always been a cheap alternative to established American labor. I think in this case, the Intel Corp, is pressing for extruding employment to foreign graduate students, which I support.

Again sorry if I called you kid, this is actually kinda colloquial for towny type places... if it's any consolation I called my roommate kid about 5 minutes ago.

As per the New York times today 10/29/03 incomes are on the rise and this quarter's economic report states a 6 point rise, three more than expected. So whats all this talk about Bush's bad economy?
