Comments on: Sun layoff hits hundreds

Second phase of a job cut hits employees of the server and software company, part of a plan to lay off up to 5,000.

Why do we need to raise the h-1b cap, when so many are being laid off?

This is just another example of why we shouldn't be talking about raising the h-1b cap.

These people need to find jobs, and the unemployment rate needs to fall, before there is any talk of raising the h-1b cap.

Companies are only hiring foreign Engineers under the h-1b to assist them in outsourcing jobs. The h-1b cap started the engineering outsourcing boom, and it promotes it.

I know, I have seen it first hand. I know several engineers who went back to India to start and India divisions for the companies that hired them under h-1b.

Because Republicans are Stupid, and we got an idiot in the White House, like father like son.

That's why.

I'd have to agree with you. When you see numbers like this, it smacks of nothing more than greed and lies when you hear people saying we don't have the talent we need in this country.

And if there is a lack of talent (i.e. - CS graduates), it's because large corporations have driven us there by making jobs in IT next to worthless.
