American workers and the US government (to a lesser extent). What's the "prevailing wage" for IT workers at an Indian outsourcing firm? $60k. What a surprise! That's the scam: If those workers were Americans doing the same job they'd be paid a lot more than that. Probably double or more in many markets! The system is being abused. Disney wants to lower IT costs but it can't just replace their workers with H1Bs because that's A) illegal and B) they'll never get enough. Tata to the rescue! By replacing those American IT workers with Tata H1Bs they completely get around all the safeguards built into the law to prevent that precise situation.
