Perhaps Silli Valley is indeed very silly. If you're from the East Coast, then the only reason you and your friends were hired as 'consultants' was because of more experience, better connection or speaking intelligible English. If you belong to the last case, your gig as a 'consultant' probably lasted as long as the Indian dude's visa.

In the short term, all kinds of disparities are possible. But in the long term, H1-Bs effectively eliminate some less able Americans from high paying jobs.
