Free market and Free trade doesn't make it no border or no country.
USA is still a country and they can impose certain thing to their advantage if they want to.
If they wish to prioritize their citizens first then so be it.
Also the main point is the abusive H-1B Visa. It is not free market when foreign workers cannot negotiate wage between companies. American citizens cannot compete against a foreign workers when the foreign workers cannot shop for salary.
It's corporate slavery.
> All that will result is moving jobs back and forth not to increase productivity and find market efficiencies, but for political reasons. It will create market inefficiencies, which could (for example) raise costs for Infosys customers (including U.S. customers), reduce Infosys' overall employment, reduce profit for Infosys shareholders, and reduce overall productivity for the economies involved.
> It's surprising how quickly the terms "free market" and "free trade" have disappeared from HN.
You're really just economic arm chairing.
You harp such libertarian things but you don't address the core issue. H1-B visa and those people inabilities to negotiate wage which artificially lower Americans salary (my salary, I've seen it first hand and I've heard from it from my buddies).
Hell I don't even know if you know the issue at all other than using this to harp about libertarian idealism.
