>>Would you rather have these companies be based out of Asia entirely?

As somebody who stays in Bangalore, I can tell you this is already the case and has been for a few years now.

Back then when I started my career there was a mad rush to move to US in most young people. Today coupled with a impossibly long green card wait, and uncertainties associated with a job on a Visa for most smart people moving to US isn't even an option. I know a lot of smart people for whom moving to US isn't even in their list of priorities.

In the past decade start up ecosystem here has become very good. Starting companies is no longer social or economic taboo in India/Bangalore today.

US people think outsourcing was bad for them? Imagine competing with start ups and their funding, which are operating at 1/10th the budget of any city in US.
