Stede,
What is your alternative to "allowing companies to hire people
in another country"?
The XP case against outsourcing is that XP can produce more
value to the customer per unit cost by working very closely with
the customer than cheaper programmers can produce by working
isolated from the customer (even if those cheaper programmers
claim to be CMM level 5).
Is your alternative more constructive than that?

Ah, so you believe that in the long-run allowing
companies to hire people in another country that could
do the job as good as you for 1/200th the price isn't
going to affect (at least) not too your profession.
I hope you are right,
God Bless.
