Why should American consumers of and investers in computer software and stuff be expected to pay inflated prices for your work when you no longer have a comparative advantage in that area. That money and investement would do far better going into some area of the economy that can use it more efficiently and provide more jobs for more people rather than a few jobs for overpaid IT guys...

Business looks for cheap labor. The reason guys like Michael Dell, Larry Ellison, and Steve Ballmer lobbied Congress for expansion of H-1B numbers was because technical industry workers were able to command record-high compensation because of the shortage of LABOR, not TALENT. The flood of H-1B tech workers has diluted the labor market, depressed compensation rates, and raised unemployment. Do your own homework. Search on anything from "Washington Post" to google on the subject. This is not just my opinion; it's historical and economic fact. And it has nothing to do with any ethnic holiday; if you think otherwise, you are probably an H-1B.
