This isn't new. I've got a copy of Dr. Dobbs (computer 'zine)
laying around here from 4--5 years ago wherein a writer complains that the
Sun, MSFT, Oracles of the world only want to maintain the high rate of
immigration of foreigners because they work more cheaply than native U.S.
programmers. Clyde Lee touched on this.
Dell, I'm told, has outsourced (sounds like "winding down") most
of its support to India. A former IT chief for local telecom Q(w)erst,
reportedly laid off highly paid IT staff and replaced them with people
happy to work for less in the USA. May have made a mention in a local
paper. The pay cuts probably thrilled Wall Street analysts.
