WRAL reported this week that the technology firm Infosys will hire 2,000 people in Wake County. The company is receiving economic incentive monies amounting to approximately $25 million.

There is a dark side to this story, however. Infosys happens to be a huge outsourcing abuser. It relishes taking jobs from Americans and giving them to foreigners.

Consider the following:

The jobs in North Carolina are part of an effort to extend an olive branch to the Trump Administration and demonstrate good faith. Infosys recently promised to hire 10,000 workers in the United States.

But it is reasonable to question precisely who will get the jobs. The WRAL article claims Infosys is saying it will recruit from area universities. It should be noted, however, that the colleges and universities admit huge numbers of foreign students who often proceed to make concerted attempts to remain here. This is a huge gravy train for the schools.

Will Infosys be hiring foreign students that are here in North Carolina; or will it be hiring American students? The answer seems fairly obvious.

And the company will be receiving taxpayer monies from North Carolina citizens in the form of economic incentives in spite of the pattern it has demonstrated in the recent past.

Was it Roy Cooper's administration that extended these incentives to this awful company? The WRAL article does not describe specifically how and when these monies were granted.

Addendum: Cooper's administration is taking credit for extending incentive monies to this company.
