Look up that "prevailing wage". It's a deep discount compared to the real world.

Minimum for a Software Developer in SF: $113,444 https://h1bgrader.com/

What do you think that is wrong?

H1B devs at FAANG companies are paid far more.

The same FAANG companies found guilty of depressing wages through collusion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

Your question is why is it wrong to depress wages? Yeah, really tough question.

Now consider OPT visa workers which are being paid even less, plus companies get an extra 8-10% discount because they don't have to pay Social Security and Medicare. There is no shortage of skilled workers here. Only corporate greed.

Define “real world” and how it differs from actual data used to compute the prevailing wage.
