If a company requires Indian nationals to function, then it seems like the best place to incorporate it is in India.

This is a point of view that's new. They already have offices in India why not expand those instead of incorporating?

The US requires foreign labour to function. Which is why neither the Repubs or Democrats have ever been even remotely serious about tackling migration.

>> The US requires foreign labour to function.

Maybe at the service/entry level but certainly not for tech jobs. Tech visas have nothing to do with filling the millions of service jobs; they're about filling the corporations' pockets with millions.

The argument doesn't work for service jobs either. Salaries in these jobs would rise without a source of cheap labor and domestic labor would fill it.
