    Agreed! I know many people who have lost jobs to foreigners, including me. Meanwhile we have many unemployed Americans because so many foreign workers are taking jobs.

    They definitely are not doing the same job. There are certainly a lot of people at Google who do administration work. This is installing, configuring, monitoring, servers and storage. A big part of a job like this is just keeping tabs on what is happening, doing backups, replacing failed components, applying updates, system maintenance stuff. Keeping stuff working in the best way.

    Programmers don't do any of that. At most companies they don't even have the rights to do any of that. Nor do they have any responsibility/expectation to do any of those tasks.

    Google used to ask prospective programmers bizarre questions like "how many golf balls fit in a jumbo jet", "how many windows are there in San Francisco", "distribute the gold on a pirate ship without getting killed by the crew". Computer Science is not really about running or maintaining computers. It is about algorithms. Problems like this one, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem. The specifics of the job can range from bug hunting to creating a completely new language and compiler from the ground up. It gets very specialized.

    So no, not at all the same job
