The BIG problem with out-sourcing is that it exposes our national (US-only) economy to the same socio-eco class disparity that exists between the wealthiest nations and the poorest.

The REASON US companies outsourse is because they can pay a fraction of the labor costs to get the same job done.

BUT, unless they pass along the labor-cost savings to the US consumer (which they NEVER will), they are simply creating an American caste that can neither participate in the most lucrative labor sector, nor afford to buy the fruits of its productivity.
