I can understand people not wanting to work so far away from their families but the bottom line is the U.S. has no trouble attracting people even to obscure parts of the United States. I'm in an uncool state and but about 20 out of the 25 people in my department are H1B visa workers and these people do not care about being in an uncool part of the United States. It's cheap to live here and these people are saving huge amounts of money relative to what they could save in their home countries and likely working in Europe's big cities.

I haven't been to India but you can go on Google streetview and see English language advertisements all over pretty much any area of any Indian city.

This is literally the first random spot I picked and...bam:

Scrolled over to another city, dropped on a random street, and...bam:
