In fact, the same controversy that happened 10, 15, and 20 years ago in the manufactoring sector. I can't find the original story online (at least not free - this link will lead you to pay options), but here's something I got in email:

A wellspring of resentment is gushing among information technology workers as employers ship more computer jobs overseas - often to India - and bring foreign workers here. The job export, a stunning reversal of the late-90s demand for local IT employees, is raising questions about the industry's future and sending more U.S. workers into a downwardly mobile spiral. Businesses in the Hartford area alone have terminated hundreds of American IT employees and consultants in the past year, under pressure to boost profits and please shareholders. And more layoffs are on the way. Companies such as Aetna, ING Group and CIGNA say that they must find cheaper IT labor to keep their costs down and compete, and that Indian companies offer a well-trained and eager pool of talent. The U.S. employers also like the overnight staffing that stems from the time difference between countries.

I remember these stories - about other industries - from the 70's and 80's. Not sure what can be done about it - protectionism rarely works out the way you want it to. For more commentary, I did find a link to some feedback to the original newspaper story
