I am very comfortable with multinational corporations and research organizations setting up shop near where the skilled people are. I don't see how it makes sense for them to have to import the people to America. Is there something magic about American soil? Why would you object to organizations having a larger international presence? Really, this would better serve both the foreign countries and American global interests.

You don't think this is going to hurt employment in the US? If India open up immigration in response and Bangalore becomes a bigger startup hub than Silicon Valley, you don't think that hurts US workers? If US workers move out too, it's just brain drain that hurts the country. There are a lot of synergies that come together to make technology hubs. >Really, this would better serve both the foreign countries and American global interests. How would large tech companies' IT workforces being international help American global interests? Imagine if other countries had access to all your internet searches and email.

In reality, for the most part, companies would simply be forced to pay American workers more. But even if I'm wrong, I don't really care. The high skill tech stuff people on here fixate on is not relevant in the bigger employment picture.
