But we also need the service jobs as well. Not only are we losing sales to products made in other countries, but try calling a help line for almost any product sold in the US. You are immediately in contact with someone living on the Indian Ocean or near there. I agree that we need the manufacturing capability here in the US. But we also need the service jobs as well.

I found the following web site wich has a printable list of toys made in the USA: www.usatoyguide.com. I found a wooden train for my son, a board game and teddy bear for my daughter.

There is a limit to the number of h1-B visas issued each year and it is usually filled for the year within just a few weeks. The greater threat is L-1 Visa workers. These are workers hired overseas and "transferred" to the U.S. to fill positions. There is no limit on L-1 visas. Temporary staffing companies like TATA in India, are setting up office in the U.S., filling contract positions at American Companies using "transferees" from India. They are NOT paid the same as Americans and often have to share an apartment with several other "transferees".
