Tom,

I guess that governments and businesses dynamics fly at a different level than people's needs, as history teaches.

Regarding your opinion about H1B holders, from a personal standpoint I feel sad that you have to see in that way. Quite frankly I didn't expect such a comment; I appreciate your honesty though.

However, some people could find it vindicatory: you might think the same of big US IT/Software corporations getting millionaire software contracts in foreign countries leaving many thousands of their local developers without a job. Not to mention that in many cases they bribe local authorities in order to get those contracts. And I am not just saying it, there is plenty evidence about this.

We live in an interconnected world run by businesses competitiveness; everybody, corporations and general public, want to pay the lowest price at all levels whatsoever by means of low salaries, not training local employees, you name it.

In that scenario, is it reasonable to complain when the consequences of participating in that model hit us? I don’t think so.

Let me give you a few examples of what I am saying: I checked my own clothes and, although they were bought from popular stores in this country, I can’t find a single one that was ‘made in the USA’, I am sure that if I asked around, I would get similar results.
Same with electronics, we all like those low prices when renewing our laptops/desktops, don’t we?

These are rough examples, but I can see job positions lost to lower paid workers abroad, so, isn’t consuming these articles another way of taking food from the mouths of US citizens?

I think I’ve read before about you mentioning your wife origin country, so among the many music styles you play how come I don't see vals peruano?
