Are they paying that much less? I think it's more about nepotism at this point. Indian society is one of the most nepotistic on the planet. It's no coincidence these companies all have Indian CEOs. Once they control a group, business line, or company, they fire Americans and replace them with Indians as a first order of business.

It's a bit of both, but it is mainly about money.

The Indian consulting companies have a pipeline from India. Most of them work offshore from India before they get the opportunity to come to the US. When they send a guy from India to the US, they backfill the position in India. They guy they send to the US may make about 2/3 of what a similar US employee makes, and the guy they hire in India makes about 1/5, or less. They get away with it by bringing him to the US at a lower pay grade then his experience would dictate. They pay a guy with 5-7 years of experience working in India about the same as a recent college graduate with no experience would make.

Not all of the consultants who come to the US stay. Many go back to India for various reasons, and they work remotely from there, using the experience they gain from working in the US. I believe the consultants in India who have US experience earn more than the ones who have never worked overseas, but less than the US consultants make.

So that pipeline to the US helps make their workforce back in India more effective and better trained.

Obviously in Texas an HB-1employee is allowed to bring their entire family with them when they move.

Near what is referred to as The Technology Corridor in Richardson Texas every Walmart, HEB, Target on and on has a staff of (at least) 75% Indian women.

The high schools are nearly all Indian students too.

No, MAGA aren't the ones crying about him not doing everything in the first 100 days or even the first 1.5 years... That would be the TDS panicans, "I voted for Trump three times BUT..." crowd.

but they are abusive towards their Indian H1B employees. They pay them poorly, make them move across country on short notice, and slow walk the green card process, making it difficult for them to get a better paying job.


100% what they do at Tata. They use them like slaves. 100 hour work weeks, we need you to move from Memphis to Seattle by Monday morning, or back to India. I've seen all that shite.

This goes hand in hand with the deliberate dumbing down in public education. The 50 year plan to take over America without firing a shot… being thwarted….
Thank you military intelligence for a plan and finding a brass ball guy with orange hair qualified for the task!

Technically you are right, but it's more like over 2 decades.

It's both. Tech companies love the H-1B program because it's basically corporate indentured servitude they hire guys at entry-level wages and hold their green cards hostage so they can't quit or complain. But you’re 100% right about what happens next. Once one gets into upper management, the "referral network" kicks in, the American contractors don't get renewed, and the entire team gets replaced by guys from the same region or university overseas.

Good! They are taking jobs from Americans, raising housing prices and depressing wages for IT, engineering and consulting jobs.
And half of them don’t know their head from their arse

They still havent produced anything in 30 years and this entire system requires the sacrifice of American workers. We are literally destroying Americans for India. Explain to me how that makes ANY sense.
