It doesn’t surprise me one single iota.

I’ve personally known at least two Indian tech “entrepreneurs” whose businesses were made possible by one and only one thing: cheap Indian labor.

It was through a combination of (a) outsourcing client work back to India, and (b) getting more H1B hires into America. Once guy built his entire tech services company in NYC on H1B Indian tech labor, which he then sold for a couple $million$. He was NOT an American citizen, but he knew how to pump that H1B system.

Oh, he did have that “advanced degree”, a PhD from some Indian university.

If you look underneath the covers you will find that many many Indian-run or Indian-managed companies in America are entirely based on obtaining even more cheap Indian tech labor. Or outsourcing.

I’ve seen the Indian scam up close and personal, more than once, and it ain’t pretty.

I've outsourced some tasks to India. I don't see a particular problem with it. Sometimes it has worked well (data entry) but for more complex tasks, it has been a bad idea.

I don't particularly thing that Indians who are here are wealthy because they use cheap Indian labor. It's probably because the ones that are here all gravitate towards successful professions (doctors, engineers, etc.) and don't really get caught in the American subculture of sex/drugs/rocknroll/welfare.
