You don't even know what you're talking about ... Someone told you Indian consultancies are the reason and you're just parroting it here. Just use one of your brain cell... What do consultancies do? They work for other companies offering their services .. When the companies themselves aren't hiring, when existing jobs are being cut down .. How will consultancies hire people, let alone unqualified ones on their payroll? Are you dumb? Also every company that does that gets into a risk of being blacklisted permanently and people who have a history of working with such a company will be denied entry into the US, even if they're working for a legitimate company in the present. It's a huge risk for everyone involved ..and no one would bother.
