Employing a few citizens/green card holders, doesn't mean it's not about money - it just to satisfy regulations, so you can keep getting h1b's approved. Most of outsourcing companies now moved to having small offices in US. 5%-10% are employed in US, while the rest is outsources, such models with few employees onsite just helps to outsource more.

The number of people these companies have in US is a minuscule fraction of their total worldwide employees (Infosys employs 200K, TCS 380K). The salary of H-1Bs in US is also a minuscule fraction of their revenue (Infosys makes 10B annually, TCS 17B).

My point, precisely. These companies would not mind paying good salaries to their employees on H-1B, or hire local employees, if they can keep the outsourcing business humming along.

Well, it is about the money as in every business is about that. But these companies hire H-1Bs not to save money primarily. It is not clear to me from your comment wether you are agreeing or disagreeing with that.
