I used to work for a consulting company where I was the only American 
engineer (at least in the networking department).  They moved me out to 
San Francisco, and it was only after I got here that I realized that 
they paid a fraction of what I could get elsewhere.  I left - and I 
found out that this place specialized in importing "indentured 
servants", paying them below market rates, and hiring them out for a 
tidy profit.  That's just one company, but I've got to believe it goes 
on elsewhere.
