Dozens of my Indian friends who work in WITCH companies in overseas locations are actually quite happy with their salaries. They are dying to work in overseas projects.

Guess they are more than happy being a part of captive, exploitable force.

You can be happy working at a lower salary, doesn't mean that its not exploitative or that it distorts the labor market. Especially with the knowledge that the company holds your residency in their hand.
What does WITCH stand for here? Haven't seen that acronym before
The first company that came to mind was Wipro, which led me to this:

W- Wipro I- Infosys T- TCS C- Cognizant H- HCL A- Accenture India.

Out of that list, working horrible hours at Amazon looks preferable.
I bet they’d be even happier if they were paid the same as American workers, seeing as they’re doing the same job.

If a minimum wage worker happens to enjoy what they do, that doesn’t mean that we should all settle for minimum wage. Your argument is toothless and blatantly anti-worker.
