Offshore Outsourcing Illegal?
Well, maybe. In New Jersey.
According to this article on Wired News, there’s a move in New Jersey to make it illegal to hire anyone who’s not a legal US Citizen, or legal resident, for certain government contracts. Now, I’m sure this is will cause an uproar with certain offshore outsource companies, but so what? If it keeps jobs in America, I’m all for it. Besides, do you want to risk a potential terrorist handling government information? Even if it’s state government?
I hope this is a growing trend among lawmakers, and technology workers. I like the idea of keeping American jobs for Americans. Call me silly, but I think we should take care of our own before we worry about the rest of the world.
