This is more relatable to Americans but I personally as an American feel cheated that someone in another country could be a potential problem. Doing business with contractors who help from other countries can be fine, but potential contract outsourcers are basically there to take the jobs of those who do their job well in the states or have had a long tenure because those are the ones eating up the budget's salaries. Corporate keeps an eagle eye on the productivity within a 6 month span to see if they want to move forward with said contractors and then boom they save money by keeping them while firing their American full time employees.
Americans should get priority in American companies.
