Another fine mess we misguided, right-wing, nativist, ALIPAC-joining, xenophobic types have caused our great country!

Because of us poor Bill Gates is forced to go to .... Canada!

SHAME ON US?


Harsh US immigration rules force Microsoft to open shop in Canada

US software behemoth Microsoft Corp. said Thursday it would soon open an office in Canada, lamenting tough immigration rules in the United States that make it difficult to hire foreign staff.
"It is about recruiting the best and brightest, and right now, the majority are coming from overseas," Marc Seaman, a spokesman for the world's biggest software company, told The Globe and Mail newspaper.

"The United States has immigration quotas and some limitations for bringing in people from outside the country," he said. "That challenge is an opportunity for Canada, in the sense that this will bring the top software developers to Canada."

The development office, to be opened in Vancouver, a three-hour drive north from Microsoft's Redmond, Washington headquarters, will initially be staffed by some 300 recruits from around the world, the company said.

Eventually, it could grow to house as many as 1,000 employees.

Canada is currently the third-largest source of recruits for Microsoft outside the United States, after India and Japan.

GOOD!!!
... another TRAITOR as far as I am concerned!!!

Great!

Now, all he has to do is move most of his operations to India & China so that he can have all the cheap intellectual labor he wants without flooding our communities with people overstaying their visas!

I'm sure Connie Fogal and those she is bringing in are watching him!!!
As she wakes up more and more Canadians!

JAK -- am I the only one who sees this as a corporate tantrum? Gates and all the others wanted that Immigration Bill soooo bad! And now they don't have the cheap labor and the H1-B's. So they stomp their feet, and pout ... and head out of the country.

This one news story validates EVERY suspicion we have had about the corporatists.

I hope we have all learned where they stand now. We have a LOT of work ahead of us.

This whole battle we are in, from immigration ... to Mexican trucks ... to border security ... is just beginning. But that vote last June 28 did give us some hope!

I am switching to linux . Gates can go to hell .

Haven't liked this man for awhile...when I saw him throwing one of his tantrums on the senate floor on c-span...crying for more foreign workers! That did it for me !!! I like him about as much as I like bush!!! ZERO!!!!

I am switching to linux
