I have a lot of thoughts on this; mostly in the dissonence between tech and non tech workers and how they look at external competition. Most of the H1-B situation seems to focus on the various abuses of the companies utilizing it, which is fair, however, there seems little reflexive "we should give our jobs to the locals" attitude expressed, for whatever reason. Compared this to other disciplines, where that sort of protectionism (and I don't mean to necessarily imply negative connotations) seems to be either more acceptable or more agreed upon. If state vs state competition is looked down on (when the entire purpose of the federal US was initially largely to support and facilitate interstate commerce), I'm just surprised that there's not more buzz just directly at country vs country competition. Is it that we're in a high paying field, and can "deal with" the resultant wage drops better? Is it that the issue is being avoided to avoid sensitive topics? I'd be curious to hear some thoughts on this, since there certainly seems to be very domain-specific responses to the impetus of non-native competition.
