I think this isn't the place to discuss this, so I'll let this be my last message on the issue.
Look at what I said. I never said a darn thing about restricting free trade. All I said was why should we in the US educate, and train foreign workers? We shouldn't. If they wish to immigrate to the US great! Glad to have them. If they wish to set up shop in India, great...use your folks trained in your country and go for it. Just don't think that we here in the US should be happy with the companies that move US jobs there. It's our right to complain. Maybe you don't believe we should have that right. Anyway, this is WAY OT, as was the original post (request for a job) to begin with. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 12:45 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: [OT] Re: Java / J2EE Developer Look the US is the great bastion of free trade, take a look around the world and get real please. Both the US, UK and others have done well out of global trade. So its no good crying when the competition comes along. US and UK companies also benefit from being able to exploit the emerging labour markets. +1 to what james said.
