What's moral or immoral isn't for me to say. You say these companies are responsible for not selling out out "national interests." Who says? You? Millions of unskilled laborers stamping sheetmetal at a factory all day? Please. Welcome to capitalism man. It's all about $$$. Where have you been?
EternalOne is right, the american people need to educate themselves more and stop whining about the pay at the local deli or for unskilled labor.

Wait a minute, Oh Great One. Are you perhaps confusing legality with morality? An action can be perfectly legal but also perfectly immoral.
You said that outsourcing "sucks for our economy". I agree: outsourcing causes Americans to lose their jobs, and over the long run this could kill our economy (remember, consumer spending is the largest component of our economy). Big-shot CEOs and other outsourcing managers are selling our economy down the river for short term profits. So why don't you just admit that's wrong? Those CEOs have a duty of loyalty to this country, just like you and me. They are responsible for not selling out our national interests to make a fast buck for a few big investors. The harm could take generations to repair. Why are you so quick to let these scumbags off the hook?
