It seems to me that the other reasons Joe mentioned - badly declining customer service and quality - are reason enough not to buy from Dell, especially for mission critical machines.

On the other hand, if all Dell's U.S. customers are as whiny, er, 'demanding' as the first three at HS' link, I can also see why Dell would prefer offshore customers that are more gullible, er, 'easier to satisfy'.
All companies look for the customers who want what they have to offer, directly or indirectly.

How sure are you of this, Tom? Dell is very big here in Europe and is a major player in the Japanese market, which would tend to indicate that a majority of their sales would be outside the US.....

What's the problem with Dell moving production to where the customers are?
When Japanese car manufacturers opened up plants in the US did you complain that your Lexus or Honda are not built in Japan?
After all, Japan is their home market...

A new bill has been submitted to the House to raise the number of H-1B visas that can be issued per year (we call this the H-1B cap). There are also changes to the L-1 visa.
Originally posted by Warren Dew:
You realize that for an H-1B visa, the employer first has to advertise the job to U.S. residents, and accept any who apply and are able to do the job, right? The purpose of the H-1B is to allow foreigners to do jobs that are too crumby for any American to take.

This is incorrect. Do you really think that we are hiring Masters and PhD's to pick fruit and clean bathrooms?Originally posted by Warren Dew:

And there you have it: if I could equate Republicanism with a good economic outlook, I'd probably buy into the "thousand points of light" malarkey and other rah-rah conceptual platforms the GOP favors over real, street-level policy. The Democratic most often strikes me as thinking their way to a solution, so if they've missed on some prediction, at least you can see why -- some of the time, anyway.
Unless some heat is put on Congress it will be only a matter of time before the Democrats sign on since most of them support H-1B and L-1.
