This highly controversial legislation, HB 1487, which goes into effect July 1st in Washington State, is just another example of a transnational corporation asserting its influence in our local government. This legislation was drawn up inside of Microsoft and sponsored by Representative Ross Hunter, a former manager at Microsoft.

This is incredible. While Unemployment is at record high and college tuition jumps, the state of Washington gives a subsidy to foreign guest workers for instate tuition.

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever read. From a few years back, the SFGate exposes what has been going on for over a decade in high-tech America.  I cam across this after Googling "Bank of America Outsourcing", looking for amunition to send my BofA rep who is handling my mortgage:

At a complete sell out of U.S. technical Professionals, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said this:

The U.S.-India relationship needs an "upgrade," Clinton said. She dubbed this new version of their relationship "U.S.-India 3.0" saying finally, "I want to put us in the solutions business."

Has Your Job Been Outsourced Or Have You Been Impacted By Offshoring?

If you have been impacted by the rampant offshoring and outsourcing of American jobs to Indian workers, now is your chance to be heard.

In the news the Obama administration promises to save 600,000 jobs. I believe that is $1.3 billion per job by the way.

So, why is it the Obama administration will not stop the use of our taxpayer dollars to ship jobs overseas, bring in more foreign guest workers and refuse to use any system that verifies if a potential employee is authorized to work in the United States?

This is just ridiculous to not make sure all Stimulus money is tied to American workers, American jobs, U.S. citizens. Instead our taxpayer dollars are pouring overseas, helping other nations instead of the United States and the middle class.

How disconnected from economic reality does it have to get with an official unemployment rate of 9.4%?

A growing number of American I.T pros are being forced to expand their job searches far beyond their homes. Recently, I myself had to fly from Orange County up to Sacramento to interview for a contract at of all places, Modesto. This was earlier this year, and the market had dried up. I was prepared to live in a motel for several months, separated from my family.

JUST LIKE AN H-1B.

There seems to be a fear in the I.T. community about dealing with the fact that the industry is starting to be dominated by one country - India. And it is not just I.T. -- it is finance, science, and education.

As I posted before, this is not an accident. An Indian economist described India's "friendly takeover of the world" in 2000:
