I am very interested in this feedback about Australian immigration issues. We have our own issues here in America. Most of our issues are different, but there is also a trend for our large corporations to outsource or what could be called insourcing, or hiring foreign skilled workers. The reason we are importing skilled workers is they work for less money than Americans. Many of the new people arriving here from places like India are happy to be in the US. Our telecommunications industry and computer technology are two of the biggest employers of foreign skilled workers.

So, in America it is frustrating to see jobs outsourced to foreign countries or skilled workers insources from foreign countries. Both trends mean greater unemployment or under employment for Americans.
