Sand Hill Road wants cheaper, imported labor: http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/the-exchange/u-immigration-po... (Today's news, less than one week before the election, with mass unemployment. "We can't find workers with right skills". WTF? U.S. multi-billionaires can't do "on the job training" ???? )

Americans have been underbid and now Americans must pay.

Why spend money to educate your own citizens when you can import workers from other countries on the cheap? Of course long term this leads to the ruination of the United States. But businesses don't think long term. They only think of making money now. And to think one of these money men hucksters has a real chance of getting elected next week. I weep for our future.

This is sad to watch for someone like me who still sees the US and particular areas like SV as the pinacle of our modern world (I wasn't born nor currently live in the US).

No politics on HN? Fine, but this should be on the front page!
