I sympathise, as a fellow "American" developer. However, it is rather
childlike wishful thinking to purport to stop by force of law that natural
motion of capital which is certifiably unstoppable.
Global economic integration and interdependence ("globalisation") has its
pluses and minuses for everyone. To partake of the benefits of modernity, you
have to pay to play. You can't have the good without the bad. Developing
nations have every bit as many gripes with it as you do. While you complain
that jobs are being taken away from American developers and there is downward
wage pressure, the developing world complains of their macroeconomic health
being subjugated to the whims of some distant investors in faraway lands, there
self-sufficiency destroyed by supposedly organic "competitive advantage",
IMF-sponsored liberalisation and austerity measures that hurt the people and
increase concentration of wealth into few hands, expropriation of land and
resources into the hands of foreign conglomerates, etc. It is what it is.
Regardless, there is no going back. It's like trying to put the milk back into
the cow. All you can do is make yourself competitive in global terms. There
is still much that you can do that cannot be usefully offshored.
