I kid you not, this opening popped up on Dice. Indian firms looking for U.S. Citizens. Keep in mind this is for a Senior developer and apparently you only need 5 years for that. That explains all of the failed projects you hear about and all of the shit candidates you have to interview. This low-skill off-shore shit has been a problem for years.
