Globalization is reality -- I do not reject reality either. It jsut raises the issue -- what choices need to be made to ensure that we can make a living, and make it in a world that moves forward, progresses and is better tomorrow than it is today. I don't think we can take anything for granted anymore.

I'm actually ashamed to admit that for a time, I actually believed that since americans lived the "good life" so to speak, that our engineers might not be as good as someone who came here from China and went to Berkeley, etc. The selection process for foreign workers is usually a lot more stringent and hence the average foreign worker admitted into the country is harder working than the average American worker. This has nothing to do with living "the good life" though. Simply if you choose the top 5% on one side and the top 80% on the other, guess which one tends to have better people. The challenge is not to let this affect your decisions when hiring. You should look at each person individually and hire them on their record, be them foreign born or native. I've hired plenty of as-good-as-anybody-else American born techies.
