This angers me beyond belief! We have plenty of development talent here in the United States.
We don't, in the sense that the company I work for has open headcount and we can't find enough qualified people to fill it, either from the USA or anywhere else in the world. We've got a decent number of folks from Russia, India, Australia, Britain, Germany, etc. Neither the engineers nor the recruiters where I work think any specific nationality is "better" at writing software. We just hire the best wherever they come from.
If a large sector of America is unemployed, why are we importing labor?
Because none of the unemployed people can write good software? I dunno; I just know what resumes I see and who I interview and the majority don't meet our hiring bar.
