According to Grok, there are about 33 million potential workers with sufficient from India who have the requisite IQ to be competent programmers.

America has 55 million. If it’s competent workers you want, America has an abundance of them.

I was an IT consultant for most of my 45 years in the business. In the second half of my career, probably half or more of the other consultants were foreigners. Some could barely speak English and you couldn’t send them into a meeting and get an update from them. They were mostly coders. They worked for less than half of what an experienced programmer would make. By the time I retired they were in control of many agencies and if you weren’t Indian you were out of luck as far as a job went. That’s in the New York/New Jersey area I’m assuming it’s not much different in the rest of the country.
