Ya know, this convo got me to thinking... Just about every place I've worked (5 jobs) in the last 14 years since moving here to Eugene Oregon, I've had a foreign born coworker there... At one place we had 3 Brits (2 of the 3 very good, one not so much (all hat and no cowboy))... one was software dev, the other in Sales... The next place had another Brit - very good... mechanical engineer and production... Next had a fellow originally from Nigeria but grew up in England somewhere - also very good... general IT and networking along w/ systems admin... Currently have a guy from Pakistan for a coworker - how he got here (USA) or how long he's been here I have no idea... general IT and network support... very good... I've heard Eugene is something of a miniture melting pot of a place having very liberal views on things, so maybe that's part of how these folks gravitated here - an openness to "diversity" at least in the sense of foreign nationality...
