Please dont tar everyone with the same brush.
I used an H1B and went to grad school in a top ten ranked Univ in USA. I have never felt used or underpaid. H1B has many layers to it.
Also regarding your off shoring comment: Lets not forget that in a global economy you have to let the third world make money somehow so that they can consume products like coke and MTV and pay for it. You dump products and they pay in human capital.

Uhm, I don't think you understand.
Unless, he was dirt cheap all around & had little worker's rights & had the illusion of being just as good due to a degree. Capitalism at its finest.
It's the same as Indian offshoring. Most of it is just a scam, nothing more. And ironically, borderline illegal as legal & financial firms send sensitive documents & records overseas without their clients knowing it.
Funny you mention that. I know more than a few OC born "caucasian" well educated guys who moved across the world to New Zealand. This started a few years ago.
They said they weren't happy with the quality of life and direction for their kids. At first I was shocked as i was waiting in line to get my residency. Now i wonder about their decision.

LOL
The article was about highly educated... masters degrees and PhDs.
Of course nobody is going to leave when he gets free ice cream...
Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
The Zogby results are shocking â especially compared to the entire U.S. population (now about 303,116,000). The numbers below are for households, not individuals.
⢠1.6 million U.S. households already decided to move offshore and are headed in that direction.
⢠Another 1.8 million households are seriously considering moving and are likely to do it. Many have taken preliminary steps.
⢠7.7 million households are âsomewhat seriouslyâ considering moving and âmayâ do it.
⢠Nearly 3 million households are seriously considering buying a vacation home or other property outside the United States. Another 10 million are âsomewhatâ seriously considering it.
This means that almost 10% of U.S. households are considering leaving the country. Another 10% are considering living outside the country part-time. Most analysts are ignoring this silent massive emigration.
These would-be emigrant households plan to spend an average of US$260,000 on buying or building a house. Theyâre also planning to spend at least US$36,000 annually on living expenses outside the United States.
In total, they represent hundreds of billions of dollars leaving the U.S. economy each year.

If a person would leave because of a 4% increase their marginal tax rate (35-39%) let them go. But in reality, immigration is not something people will like. Where are they going to go? It may entail learning a new language becoming immersed into a new system. I am not concerned about this.

It's not really that, as China is quite totalitarian and so is India. Neither are the fairy tales they are made out to be, even as a wealthy person there you have to become very desentisized and essentially sell your soul.
What this signals is what I have been saying for months. This nation is finished, its goose has been cooked.
U.S. is the capital of soul selling.

Same thing happening in Germany (they even have a reality show about this). And guess where they are going: to the U.S.A!!!
