Speaking as someone who has always worked outside the tech sector, I
think this is quite unlikely.  Free trade was a major national issue in
'92 and '96, and the matter was settled decisively.  Perhaps if tech
workers had been politically engaged back then, things would have turned
out differently, but they weren't.  The rest of America, which has long
since paid its free trade dues in excelsis, is quite prepared to watch
the tech sector get its comeuppance.

I wouldn't mind being wrong about this, but I don't think I am.
