There's a reason they're not offshoring now when they can.

Hint: It sucks arse to do so.

So many failed projects that our company gave up on it.

They are off-shoring. My own office has sent thousands of jobs down to Buenos Aires over the last fifteen years. The Argentinians are 1/3 the price, speak English very well, are educated, are extremely tech savvy (a lot more so than our American counter-parts, if I were being honest), and on and on. The incentive is there for these people and the companies, and there is not much to stop it.

H1B needs fixing to curb the abuse. I don't think anyone denies that. But off-shoring knowledge economy jobs for major companies is inevitable. You're not going to stop that flow no matter what you do.

This is true. The H-1B visas mostly impact the mid level jobs that are a bit harder to outsource than the more basic IT functions. It's not impossible, but it's very difficult and a lot of companies try and fail.
