Since the ports in question were already managed by foreign interests, what difference what country the owner is from? The U.S. government handles security of all ports and many americans are employed there. The UAE has the largest port of the U.S. naval fleet in the entire mideast region and they are good allies and trading partners. \nBesides the obvious fact that congress should be notified in more advance of such a potential security issue in our country (and this is a matter of interpretation), nothing out of the ordinary has transpired with this transaction. Many corporations here are run by foreign companies. It is just more partisan politicking to cast doubt on the current presidential administration's policies.

I have not worked with any of these companies, but they came up at the top when I searched at Google for "international SEO" which tells me they know what they are talking about (I find it funny for SEO companies proclaiming SEO expertise and they're nowhere to be found in the search engines )\n\nhttp://www.connors.com/international/\nhttp://www.zunch.com/international_seo.cfm\nhttp://www.topdesignfirms.com/d.6.0.html\nhttp://www.mcanerin.com/

Basically there are a few airline specific jobs such as pilot, flight attendent and so on and lot's of regular jobs for IT, accounting, HR, purchasing, sales, lawyers ....\n\nDepending on the structure they have maintenance people and catering on their own, but to my knowledge most of that is outsourced at the major airlines.
