(I didn't read the article yet, but):

There is a difference between proponents and critics describing the same activity in different terms and noting that different companies treat the system differently and that it is roughly bimodal: "Google's" use and "Infosys'" abuse.

I interpreted the two quotes you pulled as the former.

The 2 quotes I pulled for 2 different categories are not describing the same activity:

"top talent to America" != "less expensive, temporary staff members"

The "top talent innovative products" is intended to describe Google or Tesla hiring a rare PhD scientist from Germany to work on deep machine learning or automated driving algorithms.

The "less expensive, temp staff" is meant to describe loophole abuses like Infosys.
