Microsoft Layoffs Kickstarts Major H-1B Debate - THG.com

Wow - What a concept. Milton Friedman is probably spinning like a lathe.

Of course, having been strongly opposed to the abuses of the H1B visa program for years now, I'm totally inclined to have Senator Grassley's back on this. But its just as likely that the Free Trade pundits in the Obama administration (and our 'allies' who benefit greatly from this program) will sound the trumpets against this tack on the grounds that its too protectionist.
