Does anyone else also find the following statement plainly stupid:

>H1B immigrant labor from India has clearly become a "strategic" sourcing model for tech giants as in the past 2 years as both Microsoft & Google have appointed CEOs and other executives from India--while backing open borders, pro H1B tech lobby FWD.us.

Does the author really think the two Indian ex-pats were made CEOs of respective companies because of their country of origin?

The site lost a lot of credibility at several moments for me, this being a big one.

I don't think they're saying Nadella was hired because of his country of origin, but rather they would have preferred an American to have risen brought the ranks to be in Nadella's position.

(I personally think Nadella's an excellent CEO)

IMHO the US desperately needs international CEOs to offset its inward-looking media and education system.
