This is a total ploy by large companies to increase the H1-B visa cap. I have seen companies post job openings with starting salaries of 40K for experienced developer positions so they can then claim there were no American applicants.

Its a self fulfilling prophecy, if companies outsource the jobs then people don't study those skills for fear of their job going to India; then the companies complain that there aren't enough Americans with CS degrees so they need more H1-B visas.

The US needs tariffs in the IT industry to save our skill base so we can be competitive long term.
