They are discriminated against based on their being more free agents, less indentured slaves.

Workers on H1Bs are not free to change jobs and are wholly dependent on their employer in order to remain in the US. That gives sweat shops like Infosys enormous control over these employees. They can abuse them pretty much any way they like with impunity.

Where do you idiots come from? Ayn Rand didn't die in any sort of poverty, her books are STILL best-sellers on Amazon 60 years after they were first published. She never relied on the state for income (or remotely needed to) that's as much of an utter fabrication as the first ridiculous allegation. And given that she was forced to fork over hundreds of thousand of dollars in taxes to pay for (among other things, like wars) a public healthcare system, she had every right to then avail of it.
