You are generalizing. I am aware of several unicorn startups have have moved all their engineering operations to India paying huge big bucks. Now, the WITCH companies are into the BS jobs, jobs that help American economy be far more efficient.

I would be stupid to say that "every Indian IT guy is incompetent". Every one is six human beings is Indian. So, you will find smart people everywhere. Any comment can be criticized in two ways: (a) it is a generalization; (b) it is too specific or anecdata. Here, we are talking about HCL's preference for Indians. Even in WITCH companies, there are smart people. If there are x percent of smart people in the world, then WITCH companies do have x percent of smart people. The way WITCH companies send people onsite (USA, UK), depends NOT so much on how smart a candidate is, BUT on some kind of cronyism. At TCS, if someone wants to go onsite on H1, he needs to cozy up with all three levels above him, then this big boss recommends him to HR. Even if someone comes onsite, he has to suck up to onsite managers to process I-140. If he doesn't suck up to these parasite managers onsite, he will be sent back to India. Not many Americans know how these WITCH companies operate. That's what I am shedding light on.

  American immigration laws are to be blamed for this not the companies themselves. Companies will always align themselves to those incentive structures. American companies exploit foreign laws in similar ways. So I feel it cuts both ways. Since I am involved with lot of immigration advocacy I am familiar with the so called eb-1 abuse. It is not abuse at all. It is a sensible strategy where the companies follow the letter of the law. It is US Congress that is idiotic to put foreign managers and noble winners in the same group of immigrants. I do feel hr1044 is a perfect solution to this coupled by increasing h1b cap significantly.
