[quote]Most of theses workers could care less about the United States and are here solely for personal gain. If you disagree with me, please let me know. I’m trying to get different points of view so that I can have a well rounded opinion. With the upcoming Presidential election, this will be a topic that will sway my vote.

That would be incorrect. Most of the H1-B’s here put the time and effort into attending the best schools in their country so they can come here and study and emigrate here. Many of the H1-B’s come from the top rank schools overseas including IIT. Most of them get their greencards and plan on staying here, and eventually get US citizenship. Look at the engineering schools, particularly the masters program….More people abroad study engineering than people from this country.

In fact, as I mentioned on another thread, many of them are just as pissed off that U.S. companies are making bonehead decisions to move work abroad, when they themselves admit the “talent” abroad isn’t nearly as good as over here.
