The second link is a far more informative review of the literature and studies in the area. When it comes down to it, tech firms wouldn't do the work of sponsoring visas if it didn't have clear benefits, one as we agree the indentured servitude factor, and two being able to get the work done for less...which includes more work than others would tolerate for the same overtime-exempt salary. About a decade ago I hired an H1B transfer after being given a shoestring budget for a Head of IT hire. I really didn't like the game-ified system such as posting a job as for their exact resume in a literal print newspaper so we could say no one qualified applied. And yes, this person was paid less than we could find anyone else remotely qualified to work for. I actually swore off doing sponsorship after that and arrived at the same conclusion everyone else will now: Either offshore remotely for even less or hire Americans.
