Currently, its *very* hard to import workers into this country from
abroad.  My company is European owned, and we have a number of German
Nationals that work in our office, and every year its a huge question
weather or not we are going to loose them because the INS has decided
that an American could do their job just as well.  For us it is
essential to hire them, so we go through the hassle and the paperwork
and actually have staff who's entire job is dealing with our 5
nationals (including the CEO) and the INS BS that the government here
puts on us.

Take a page from the DSI playbook:  Make something small and cheap
that fits on my desk and sounds awesome.  Big things can come of
this..
