- TNA: But aren’t we better off importing foreign workers into America as opposed to exporting our hi-tech firms?
- Sanchez: This argument is a classic false choice called a Morton’s Fork. Big business threatens to move operations offshore if they cannot get an endless supply of H-1B visas. The truth of the matter is that H-1B visas facilitate outsourcing!
- Insiders in industry openly discuss how H-1B is necessary to complete a “knowledge transfer.” Outsourcing technology from the United States is made far easier when companies can bring foreign workers into the United States to get valuable experience and training before using them in outsourcing. One of the best ways to combat the loss of American jobs via outsourcing is to stop visa programs such as H-1B and L-1.
