Once again, Computerworld hyping the h1b/foreign worker threat, just as they and Wired have done since the 90s. I was once replaced by cheaper software developers in Asia. It was painful but it happens. But I have a hard time sympathizing for workers in the tech industry. It's one one of precious few equalizers in our society. Just as in 1998 (and maybe before), you can work your way up the chain without a college education--if you have the determination and curiosity. I guess like their typical Windows-praising and Mac-bashing pieces, it's a reliable formula for Computerworld's reader base. But protectionist policies aren't productive. Emphasizing the need to adapt and add value are a better message.
