Despite President Obama’s pledge to retain more hi-tech jobs in the U.S., a federal agency run by a hand-picked Obama appointee has launched a $36 million program to train workers, including 3,000 specialists in IT and related functions, in South Asia.
Following their training, the tech workers will be placed with outsourcing vendors in the region that provide offshore IT and business services to American companies looking to take advantage of the Asian subcontinent’s low labor costs.
Under director Rajiv Shah, the United States Agency for International Development will partner with private outsourcers in Sri Lanka to teach workers there advanced IT skills like Enterprise Java (Java EE) programming, as well as skills in business process outsourcing and call center support. USAID will also help the trainees brush up on their English language proficiency.

The ONLY reason they STAY HERE is for the CHEAP TAXES AND DEDUCTIONS. FEW other nations have those.
These, mostly intelligent, comments are refreshing. So what can we do?

There’s three things you can do to stop this betrayal of our goodwill:
1.Call USAID at 202-712-1023 to demand they suspend all programs that teach foreign citizens how to better take jobs from American workers.
2.Call your representative to demand that he or she join Congressman Bishop in suspending funding for these destructive programs.
3.Bust the inevitability myth that there’s nothing we can do to stop offshoring jobs.
When technology CEOs threaten that they’ll just offshore more jobs if corporate visa programs are fixed – they’ve set their own trap. Just spring the trap by calling the H1-b what it is–the outsourcing visa.
