Special: Where Did The Jobs Go?

The Local 6 News story, which will air Monday night at 11 p.m., reports that some Central Florida workers feel betrayed by their company after being asked to train foreign employees before being replaced. The investigation will feature Mike Emmons and James Granberry who worked at Siemens in Lake Mary, Fla. Both claim that the company replaced them with cheaper foreign labor. Local 6 News reported that two types of visas, the H1B and L1 visa programs, allow foreigners to come to the United States for employment and work in specialized fields like computer programming and software engineering. The report shows that people as far as Miami say they feel victimized by the H1B and L1 visa programs. "Oh, I think I'm out of the I.T. business for good," one worker told Local 6 News. "In my opinion, I'm done." Local 6 News reported that the foreign workers are coming largely from one country. Watch This story Monday night at 11 p.m.
