> vastly prefers to import foreign labor rather than hire local

Salaries are extremely high in SV, why would they bother hiring foreigners if they can find good candidates locally?

I work in a big US tech company, and I do interview lots of candidates. Most of them graduated outside of the US. I can't believe that leadership would go to such great lengths to avoid local candidate. I think there are just not enough qualified applicants.
