Hiring Indian engineers in India for my company's office in India. I'm not sure how that qualifies as "temporary" in your mind. They are just as permanent as American employees.

This is a different situation entirely and not what we were discussing at all. Do you really think that most companies have a location in India? Your company is already paying the taxes for that luxury, so this point is meaningless.

That was actually you

That's every company who abuses H1Bs, moron. That's been the national narrative for almost 20 years, so don't deflect that to me.

I never once claimed that price was the reason for hiring them.

It's obvious that's what it is. The tech industry knows it, and you and I know it. You are all over this thread talking out two sides of your face, one minute insisting that the H1Bs are making a fair wage and touting what Google pays them, then posting the evidence of the shitty $87k average and bragging about your $35k offshore sweatshops.

I am paying them over $20k more than the Orange Fuhrer's $130k H1B threshold.

What a bunch of horseshit, you just said your offshore help "make on average around $35,000 USD". There's no way you're paying an H1B $150k per year or you wouldn't be whining about a minimum salary requirement. You're a liar. You're purposely trying to mix two different scenarios to back out of an argument. You're lying all over this thread, and now that your agenda is known, you're accusing me of being a Trumpette. I'm not, so shove that up your ass.
