TOO MANY VISAS FOR TECHIES?

摘要

Bob Simoni has been fuming ever since Toshiba America Inc. replaced him last year with a foreign worker. Simoni recently found a short-term gig, but he wants Congress to do something about the H1B visa program that allows companies to bring in skilled foreign workers. The 39-year-old software engineer says he lost his job to such a person, in his case an Indian. Toshiba says the outsourcing of jobs "enables us to be more efficient." But to add insult to injury, says Simoni, Toshiba asked him to train his replacement; "I never thought this could happen in my field."
