Comment From outsorced IT shop (Score 1) 715
I currently work for a large financial company that uses offshore workers extensively for IT. That being said there are still over 1000 IT employees in the US and we are growing our US IT employee base, we are also growing our offshore outsourcing shop. We look for different skill sets, the offshore teams are either service teams and low end coding or low end system administration, all of the project management happens in onshore teams or we have loads of developers that do the "interesting" coding as well as a few on shore system admins. Basically if you are good at what you do and driven to succeed you should be able to get work in the US. That is assuming you don't buy into the US economy is doomed because of some reason or other :)
I used to work in offshore for the same firm and I was much more worried about my job then, then I am now.
