Jason, you either do not have a clue what you are talking about, or you are just pushing out the same garbage that the rest of the Media does!
Look at all these postings from the *Real* people out there. H1-B's are hurting the USA. American jobs are going to non-Americans, and the economy IS evidently suffering from it.
You should apologize to all the TechRepublic readers, for such a biased and insulting article. I am seeing first-hand, the results of outsourcing AND H1-B's at my current place of employment, and for someone to say that it *Helps* the US economy is like a slap in the face!!!
Shame on you and Shame on Tech Republic for insulting our intelligence! I look forward to your apology, although I doubt I will get one...
