Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 10:19:39 -0700 From: Norm Matloff To: Norm Matloff Subject: Don Tennant replies To: H-1B/L-1/offshoring e-newsletter The other day I reported on a brief debate between Ron Hira and Vivek Wadhwa on CNN, and Don Tennant's commentary. See my archive, http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/Archive/HiraVsWadhwa2.txt Don has now devoted a blog posting responding to me, and continuing his complaints about Ron. See http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/blogs/tennant/claim-of-policies-to-displace-us- workers-is-destined-to-backfire/?cs=48996 I'll let Don have the last word there, and thus won't write a rejoinder. But I do have to say that I believe that Don and his readers who disagree with him have more of an issue with definitions of terms than real disagreement. (This in spite of Don's assertion that it's not a terminology problem.) For example, Don says that Ron "backed down" from his "employers have a policy" claim during the CNN show, which does not seem to be the case at all, in my view. By the way, Don's readers include a lot of interesting Web links in their remarks, which you may wish to view. Norm
