The myopic, anti-American folks at informationweek.com and offshoring.

The Informationweek article

Argue if you like that employers are abusing the H-1B visa program--that the tech talent shortage is the figment of their greed-stained imaginations. Good luck with that. Where there's heavy demand, supply is unstoppable, regardless of the motives. We can pick apart and even reform the H-1B visa program, and we can rail against offshoring as inefficient, counterproductive, debilitating, and (to the radical extreme) un-American. But don't count on reining in globalization by way of policy or protest. Denial can be inefficient, counterproductive, and debilitating as well.

I have only one thing to say, and it can be found in here:

Offshoring does hurt US interests and for that ape to say it is being 'radical extreme' to say offshoring is un-American, he is being utterly myopic. But when it comes to profits, since when are people anything but myopic?
