8. I don't have anything against using foreign talent but...

the right thing, the patriotic thing is to look here at home first.

Lets be real, why do companies outsource? Is it because there is more talent outside of home? I don't think so, it is because the foreign talent charges less and it is all about the money, and I am not against making money, but when it is done for the sole purpose of enhancing the investors pockets then I do have a problem.

You see that in IT all the time, they bring "talent" from India, and many times this "talent" is not better than the one at home, but because it costs 60% less, then they bring it, or outsource it. I can tell you of a situation where the company I used to work for went for the outsourcing, they saved money but the work didn't get done right so the people that remained here in the USA had to do their work and fix the problems that were coming from the outsource place. Not only that, the people who make the real money in this outsourcing companies abroad are the people on top, the ones that do the work make very little money.

If your Spanish friend wants to compete, I am sure that no one would object if he shows he is better than the local talent, and if he charges the same as the local talent, that would be true competition.
