Many tech companies won't hire H1-B workers, because it's too expensive. There are $15-20k in legal fees to get a new H1-Bs. Then that worker can immediately take that H1-B to another company. That is why some companies will do a transfer, but not sponsor a new one. Since H1-B's can take it to another company, they aren't usually underpaid in tech.

L-1 Visas are stuck at their company, unless a new company will sponsor a new H1-B. A lot of L-1's are stuck and paid less.

Ok then let’s just end that stinker of a program. H-1B kill it!

Many companies will not hire them directly but will contract with other firms that do. Cognizant is one such firm that seems to be really popular as an abuser of the system.
