[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4829236"]Not everybody is offshore. Wipro keeps a number of workers US based but at significantly lower wages then comparable skilled US workers.

I can't understand how this is not a clear violation of US federal law. Last year (2012), Wipro filed 7,182 applications for H1B visas. 26 were denied. [url]http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2013-04-23/news/38762933_1_h-1b-indian-it-outsourcing-firms[/url] has a good article with some clips of it below: US Senator Richard Durbin: "These outsourcing firms like Infosys, Wipro, Tata and others -- Americans would be shocked to know that the H-1B visas are not going to Microsoft; they're going to these firms, largely in India, who are finding workers, engineers, who will work at low wages in the US for three years and pay a fee to Infosys or these companies," Durbin alleged. "I think that is an abuse of what we're trying to achieve here. Most people would think, well, Microsoft needs these folks, and they'd be shocked to know that most of the H-1B visas are not going to companies like yours; they're going to these outsourcing companies," Durbin alleged. The same article also states: The proposed comprehensive immigration bill if passed by the Congress and signed into law by the US President would bar companies from hiring people on H-1B visa if 50 per cent of their employees are not Americans. The US India Business Council and Confederation of Indian Industry have opposed such a move and said that this is against the spirit of India US strategic relationship.[/QUOTE]
