You should probably fix your website before you extol the virtues of outsourcing. That said, I think immigration should be more open to everyone. Big companies get H1-B workers bring wages down for engineers and programmers. Agriculture, construction and the restaurant industry also thrive on legal and illegal immigration and also bring the wages down in those industries. Doctors, lawyers, accounts, etc exist in a protected class of workers. We should open the gates for H1-B style doctors, lawyers, accountants, and managers.

Could you back that up with some hard data? As far as I know, the whole point behind the H-1Bs is that the companies are not allowed to pay the immigrants less than you would pay the local talent.

Ugh. No, it's not sarcasm. Look, your example of Bank of America's practices from 2001 is about as representative as my saying "Well, I'm currently on an H-1B1 and I'm not underpaid." It's an anecdote, not hard data.
