Really? That is quite a bit naive. I can tell you there is no question about who will be replacing the workers, this is exactly the same runbook every corp who has hooked up with these body shops.

There will be a mix of H1B onsite and offshore, just like Infosys/Tata/Wipro/etc have been doing for nearly two decades. The FTE folks will be required to train their replacements with enticements of severance, and continued employment for a few months. Heck, even some of the times, the body shops will end up hiring those FTEs at same or lower rate (with less benefits), until they can replace them offshore. Management will give the remaining employees the bullshit spiel about global workforce, staying competitive and how these wonderful partners have hundreds of thousands of phD's just waiting to roll up their sleeves and bring leverage and major vendor relationships to the table.

I'm not sure why Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama, who raised the issue) is only now making noise, or why computerworld is just now printing articles.. but this is a surprise to no one, unless they have had their head in the sand.
