#1 I know that certain high-tech companies go looking for specific foreigners to fill specific roles. Probably because they take less money. The legal team is told who needs to be hired, then they go to work. They interview the guy and find out all sorts of details about his life, and write up what they need so that it includes these details, including specific dialects spoken sometimes, etc.. Then they advertise for a candidate, probably in the same closet the jaguar is hiding in in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and lo and behold, the only guy who responds is the guy they have in their hand! Voila, instant H1-B.

#2 And the kickback to the offshore account Gorb, don't forget that. More middlemen and markups than Tony Soprano's liquor business.

"What's the rate?"
"I'll get you a guy for 3/4 of that"
"I'll get you another guy, offshore, for half"
"You get two guys for 5/4 the wages of what you're paying now, and 24 hr service"
"With 1 local and 2 guys offshore you get 3 for less than the price of two. Round it up to two and we'll call the difference an 'assurance premium', rebated after the first year."
