“My own research, published in the academic journal Migration Letters, has shown that non-Indian companies use the visas to acquire cheap labour, saving about 20% in an apples-to-apples comparison—i.e., young foreign workers versus young Americans—and as much as 50% for hiring young H-1B visa holders instead of older Americans. A 2001 National Research Council report, commissioned by Congress, also found that underpayment of the visa holders is an industrywide practice.”
