My son is a network admin changing locations, backfilling his old position which they posted. Looking for an onsite CS grad. Can you guess what happened? Result > 900 resumes from India. They found their American applicant to fill the role, but a bunch of talented American IT dudes that they are...decided to run them through HR and AI software found nearly all of them were fake. Credentials didn't match colleges, colleges didn't offer degrees, 2 yr master's with no undergrad, etc. Meanwhile, we have Americans who must provide transcripts and background information repeatedly passed over for positions where H1B are hiring other H1-B. It's an illusion. It's largely all corruption. It's a chip on a poker table for our politicians to trade for international agreements.

Cultural Sunday We could not have picked a worse source to add to our culture. Why most of our visa workers come from one of India’s most concentrated export machines. The H-1B program was sold as a hunt for the best minds on earth. What America got was a pipeline dominated by Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Recruiter cartels. Fake resumes. Visa mills. An export business wearing a fake degree talent badge. By the early 2000s those states learned there was more money in shipping workers than in building industry at home. Consultancies charged job seekers thousands to invent experience, stage proxy interviews, and generate paperwork that looked clean to a U.S. employer. The outcome was predictable. Indians now take about 70 to 73 percent of H-1B visas. Telangana’s own IT minister said the two Telugu states dominate that Indian share. Local reporting puts Telugu applicants at 25 to 30 percent of India’s H-1B flow. The World Telugu Federation has said one in three Indians in Silicon Valley is from those two states. First-time H-1B stamping for all of India now runs through Hyderabad. deccanchronicle.com/southern… timesofindia.indiatimes.com/… Some firms shared owners, addresses, or family ties. Others parked shell companies in New Jersey, Texas, and California to file the same person over and over and juice the lottery. Bloomberg found staffing and outsourcing firms taking nearly half the visas in the years they studied, and estimated one in six awards came from multiple-registration gaming. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… This was never about diversity- because the result is less diverse than onboarding from Maine to Hawaii when you think about it. No, this is about scale and control. The tighter the pipeline, the easier it was for insiders to run it, and the harder it became for Americans or honest foreign candidates to get in. Caste, kinship, and regional loyalty steered placements and rates. The same favoritism and credential fraud that rot those states’ institutions walked into American offices. Two decades of exposure later, the pool was never broadened. No diversification rule. No real punishment that broke the consultancy playbook. The system hardened into a regional monopoly. If the goal was global innovation, the outcome is the opposite. One corridor captured the supply chain and turned the talent argument into a farce. Where in our policy does it say we ignore the world to import from there? What did you see when the same region, the same firms, and the same résumés showed up in your shop? As far as sourced go... I stopped posting links because they typically went 404 or unavailable right after the posts exceeded 4 digits but we will give it a try.
