Check all the researchers working at VA ‘NON-PROFITS’ while you’re at it.

Silicón Valley does something similar

No way... Major corporations would never allow a system to get corrupted to save money.
Been happening since the 80s. The special skill that the largest of these firms have is how to secure the US visas. Everything else follows ( recruitment, contracts..)

Well I mean with a government that continually encourages illegal immigration why would a Fortune 500 company think any different!!
Duh. This has been happening since the 90’s.
