the influx of foreign IT workers. Mostly from India and China. Mostly nice enough people, not necessarily always easy to work with. They are very methodical, but don't like to think outside the box. Just my observation. They sort of took over, once some of them reached a level where they could do the hiring, they only hired people from their own ethnicity.

I would imagine that at some point, allowing in all of the foreign workers would discourage our college students from going into that career field.

I would at least like to see our government put a time limit on them with regards to becoming US citizens.
