>While the tech bodyshops (TCS, Infosys, etc.) might have a poor reputation in the US, these companies have been absolutely critical in helping move tens of millions into middle-class respectability.

At the cost of Americans dealing with poorer tech support, buggier software (sometimes critical software that leads to million dollar losses), and employment fraud (like lip syncing in interviews where someone else answers the questions connected to the mic).

You make it sound like every employee TCS/Infosys hires are like that. Yes there is fraud and issues with the bodyshops and I am not a shill for these companies but these companies hire tons of Americans as well and create 1000s of jobs in America for Americans. So a blanket statement doesn't add much value.

Kind of an irrelevant point given that none of these are externalities.
