They then tried insourcing. They were brought in on the H1B visa program and paid them 1/3rd of the money paid to US programmers, who were then summarily fired. Many of my friends had to train the Indian programmers before being fired. Many US programmers left the industry inorder to make a decent living.
The idea that we didn't have the skills then was a complete lie and it's a complete lie now. It's all about dirt cheap labor. Those are the REAL facts!! #MAGA #H1B
