It has been very effective at keeping the wages low. Why else would every tech company lobby for H1B. Even Elon Musk post anti immigration but loves H1B

Not just infosys. spacex, microsoft, google every major tech company lobbies for H1B visa. From business stand point it makes perfect sense.

Exactly . This is even when they have setup shop outside US they bring in foreign employees on restricted visa to softly threaten local employees this keeping wages low. Mean while locals can hate foreign employees and foreign employees can feel unsafe.

Quite honestly I am in amazed at this ingenuity. Art vs artist type of awe

Time gap is not a reason. The real reason is to keep the local market wages low. With free moving employees it's not possible to control. Companies bring foreign workers with restricted visa and then threaten local employees indirectly.

It's much cheaper to setup shop outside US, which almost all companies do, but still they bring in foreign employees on visa just to keep the entire local market salaries to the minimum

Then tell me why companies hire locally rather than set up shop outside like in India or china which I assume will be much cheaper.

The only reason I think is because they want the local market dev prices to keep down,so they bring in visa restricted foreigners

It is good for the company. You get foreign employees to threaten local employees and foreign employees have no say due to restrictions.

Whats the cost of setting up new offices in developing countries like India and China vs sponsering here. It seems setting up office offshore is much cheaper, the only issue seems to be the upfront cost and know how which is an issue for starups but not for a reasonably established software business

What I don't understand is why X does not block any access without signing in and also throttle the requests. Whats stopping them?
