    So no it won't result in that in the vast majority of cases as I said earlier those that think they can pay peanuts and get anything but monkeys will do the most complaining.

    Everyone else who knows the true value of qualify will spend the money to get the decent people.
    would you care to quantify that?

    You want them on site - off shore they could be doing work for other clients that's a lot harder to do when you can see their screens,

    Well, if enough immigrants come here, there's bound to be a few good/skilled ones.

    But will there be more good immigrants than there will be terrorists?

    We shall see.
