H-1B: Outsourcer HCL games visa system to discriminate against non-South Asians

Does it mean that South Asian employees are more productive and have better performance (output to expenses ratio) than US or other employees? And that there is no discrimination, the company just hires the best people fitting for the job?

Also, I wonder, if South Asia employees are so productive, why do they need an expensive US-based management reaping most of the profit? Why cannot they create their own company?

No rocket science here. They are productive in same sense mexican immigrants are productive in orange and tomato farming in States. Cheap and desperate to work even with demanding and exploitative employers because conditions back home are worse else they wouldn't have agreed to such arrangement.

South Asian employees (esp h1b, h4 ead, opt) bring in more profit for these companies. This has to do with wage arbitrage within the states. If they hire a citizen/gc, such a candidate won't put up with low wages, or with midnight conference calls with offshore everyday.

WITCH companies are reaping profit. TCS market cap is $100B today.
