Why would an unlimited number of indentured servants, paid less than American workers, flooding this market be a good thing for techies? That would result in less Computer Science students. They don't want to enter a career that has diminishing opportunities for them - where they are forced to compete with exploited labor. Students are not shunning Computer Science. They are shunning companies who hire Computer Science graduates. It isn't that there is a lack of interest in science and engineering. There is a lack of interest in job insecurity.

Why does having been born in the US automatically give everyone those rights and the idea that noone else should be able to get them either? When exactly did your ancestors come to the United States?

I would like to see more money spent on education so that we can have good American business leaders instead of importing them from other countries. What if Bill Gates went to MIPS to sell them the software for the Altair and they told him that an Indian on a H1B had come in and charged them 1/4 as much because they outsourced to India?
