Stop Offshoring
Thursday, May 25, 2006
A reader sent me an email asking what legislation I would write to stop offshoring if I were in Congress. Off the top of my head, here are some reasonable bills I would introduce to address the offshoring threat:
- Banning or severely limiting federal, state, and local government contracts that are allowed to be handled by offshore workers.
- Prohibiting work that involves sensitive data (such as your SSN, medical records) from going offshore
- Tax penalties for hiring offshore employees, or tax benefits for hiring Americans
- Limiting/decreasing the quota for H1B (and similar) visas
