Yeah, americans are so exceptional. We can teach the high school drop outs and English majors to run the tech giants. And all the inferior foreign competitors will still be bowing over and witnessing the mighty angels dancing glamorously for their final judgement. USA! USA! USA!

Right. I am a liberal getting sick of people getting picked over me.

I have lived on both coasts and know for a fact that H1-b holders under cut me and then hotrack in Redmond while sending home remittances.

I have also went up for work, gotten approval for the job from a local just to get the thumbs down by a visa holder.

I am also aware the we need foriegn workers to help tanslate and sell products over seas.

I travel, a lot. And I have many stories.

I think that a lot of people feel the same.

I've been turned down for jobs because I don't speak a Chinese language.

I've been turned down for a job because I wouldn't be a culture fit for the majority Indian development staff.

I've been told "No, you can't work from home.. if you can work remotely, we can eliminate your position and have someone in India do it for 1/4 the price."

I'd imagine that a lot of Americans are sick of being told that they need to have immigrants coming to do the jobs, and are sick of being told that "there are jobs Americans won't do." I know that I am.
