Is there anything stopping these people from being employed in their own
country? We are in the age of communications, I work with German's in
Germany, Irishmen in Ireland, American's in America and an Australian in
France (he moved there, it's not my fault).
I don't see any reason to import people these days, unless it's to the
advantage of the person being imported. So I would say congress is right,
Bill should set up a Smoothwall with VPN tunnel to each of the guys-n-gals
home computer. Oops, Smoothwall is Linux, ok he should set up a Sonicwall,
erm no no thats Linux too. There must be one Windows based VPN system going
around that hasn't been cracked, he should set that up to these folk he
wants to employ.
