[nylug-talk] Does this situation in any way mirror what is happening in the tech sector?

   It's hard to speak for the entire tech sector, but it does appear that at 
least certain companies want to hire foreign workers and are having trouble 
due to the cap on H1-B visas.  At the same time this is becomming less 
attractive for foreign workers due to the weakening value of the US dollar 
and the various hassles and privacy concerns with flying in and out of the 
country.  Getting a green card takes a long time, and in between it's quite a 
battle to keep up an H1-B which now requires periodic visits back to the 
native country for a period of time.

   Overall I'm not sure if I know the answer to your question, but there are 
at least some limits placed based on market forces and legal bounaries 
concerning this issue.
