I wasn’t singling out Indians to criticize, just the idea that get better value from foreigners with degrees than our own people. I constantly hear businesses complaining about the quality of graduates, but never hear business saying what they want from them. Do they want lower expectations in terms of salary? For them to speak a second language? Perhaps we could get a better match if business laid down their requirements.

Agree! I sometimes had to interview new Harvard grads (and others from Stanford and various Ivy League schools) because our HR idiots required that we do so.
The positions available were for entry level professional slots and EVERY one of such applicants had indicated on their applications that they expected a salary that was greater than our Supervisors who had many years of experience in our field.
One of the major problems in US businesses (particularly in the Defense Industry) is the Human Resources dept., where they try to force hiring certain “types of people” to drive the demographics data.
