If you are a tech person looking for a job you've probably experienced the Indian recruiter. Most of them seem to be that.

People may not be aware many tech companies use "recruiters" to hire employees. It's not done internally, it's outsourced. Since the late 80's when the NSF published a criticized report claiming there would be a shortage of STEM graduates, enter the H1B visa scam. Remember that the O-1 Visa is for the exceptionally talented, not the H1B. The H1B asks for a four year degree level of education but not a degree, according to legislation proposed by Grassley and Durbin. (https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/979) IMHO, it does not go far enough and what is Grassley doing with Durbin? Seems to have not passed out of Grassley's Judiciary Committee. (Note that besides corn, there are quite a few finance businesses in his state)

Does it seem likely that with a preponderance of Indian recruiters anyone but an H1B is going to get hired? It's also how these companies profit. The "system" is contained. Tech companies cry they don't have U.S. workers but fail to include the firewall created by using recruiters.

"But what about the other large applicants here, which aren’t as familiar (Cognizant, Infosys, Tata)?"

As it turns out, these are ALL Indian companies that import H-1B tech workers en masse:

Cognizant (93k), Infosys (61k), Tata Consultancy Services (60k), Wipro, Capgemini, HCL, Compunnel, Tech Mahindra , Mphasis

"These aren’t American companies that needed international talent to fill critical roles. They’re foreign companies that appear to have been founded to place overseas tech workers into US companies as contractors."

Of course big business likes the wage slave environment. Ron Hira pointed out: "When there's a shortage of workers for a particular role, wages in that sector rise, Hira said, the same way gas prices go up when oil supplies drop. But labor market data shows that wages in the tech industry have remained relatively stable."

There is no shortage of STEM people or wages would have gone up. Real wages have not gone up while everything else has. Employers make money this way. H1B's will work for less keeping the wage cost down. Profit reigns, not employing Americans.

Another possibility is that when a person may make it through the recruiter embargo against American workers, there is an HR DEI person next in line to quash that potential employee in favor of "equity."

This seems all too planned out. Just another way to trap America into a feudal system. Oligarchs reign, becoming ever richer. MAGA also means MAKEAMERICANSGREAT AGAIN. We're all too willing if we were allowed. Musk and others like him perpetuating the H1B lie need to be unplugged from Trump's backside. Elon, when you laid off 7,500 people, did you ever consider hiring back those you could rather than importing H1B's en masse? Wouldn't that be more MAGA?
