que seria, Regardless of whether it has the potential to become a reality, the idea got you thinking about whether or not your access to the money stream would be threatened in the future. Not all fields of work have such a good protection agency as the bar association. During the tech heyday, legislation was passed to allow H1B visas to be granted to foreign engineers because US engineers with the required skills were supposedly not available. I was not affected by this, but many Silicon Valley engineer friends of mine complained bitterly that it was merely an excuse to hire much cheaper labor from abroad. It's easy to turn a blind eye to the situation if we're not personally the ones who are threatened by it. As the process moves up the economic ladder, it will be interesting to see how far it gets before it encounters serious resistance from those who are smart, affluent, and connected enough to defend themselves.
