Anything under $15.00/hr for such a position is totally laughable.

On one hand, software can really come from anywhere. OTOH, if you get devs who just copy and paste templates without any meaningful work behind it, you'll drive employers to hire quality people when you have to hire them anyways to rewrite the code from scratch.

As for hardware, I always figured that bringing in h1 workers was too costly for that. Breaking hardware is also costly.
it's very ethnocentric to think only Americans (white) can produce quality code, and the rest just copy and paste things mindlessly.

Yea i have too.. Make me wonder if they are doing this just to help fill the EOE requirements.

For a high tech town, sure are paying low tech wages.

The problem is always to find the quality workers (white, green or whatever color).
Companies spend a lot of money and still sometimes they end up with the Frog and not the Prince.
