A WND investigation reveals how ITServe Alliance—a consortium of India-linked outsourcing firms—has become the driving force behind the HIRE Act, reshaping U.S. immigration to serve foreign labor interests.

For more than a decade, a powerful and foreign-aligned network has quietly engineered one of the most consequential shifts in U.S. immigration and labor policy. At the center of this transformation is ITServe Alliance, a coalition of over 2,200 outsourcing and labor-brokerage companies closely tied to India’s IT services industry.
While branding itself as a domestic “innovation” association advocating for high-skilled talent, ITServe’s internal records, lobbying campaigns, and foreign partnerships reveal a different agenda: advancing the economic interests of India’s outsourcing sector and its U.S. labor affiliates. According to an extensive report by WND, ITServe has been the principal architect behind the deceptively named High-skilled Immigration Reform for Employment (HIRE) Act—legislation marketed as modernization but designed to dramatically expand the flow of foreign labor into the United States.
The bill, first introduced in 2022 by Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., and reintroduced in 2023 and 2025, proposes widening the H-1B visa pipeline, raising green card caps, and loosening oversight on visa-dependent employers. It contains no new protections for American workers. Instead, it accelerates permanent residency for foreign hires and eases compliance burdens for outsourcing firms that rely heavily on imported labor.
Supporters claim the measure would fill skill gaps and boost U.S. innovation. But a Department of Labor audit found that earlier H-1B “training” funds were routinely mismanaged, producing almost no measurable benefit for American workers. Expanding that same model, critics warn, would only deepen dependency on foreign labor.
ITServe’s own materials confirm its motives. In a member newsletter, the group openly stated that passing the HIRE Act would “increase their business and profitability.” Its economic engine depends on maintaining a steady influx of low-cost, compliant foreign workers who can be subcontracted to third-party client sites at a fraction of U.S. wage standards.
The Labor-Replacement Cycle
What ITServe has built is more than an immigration lobby—it is a replicating labor ecosystem. Workers imported through H-1B, OPT, and CPT programs are cycled into U.S. tech jobs at discounted rates. Many later form their own staffing firms, recreating the same exploitative structure that brought them into the country. Each generation of underpaid visa laborers becomes the next generation of brokers. The result is a self-sustaining web of offshore-linked firms that thrive on replacing, not employing, American workers.
Lawsuits That Dismantled Safeguards
Nearly every major rollback of visa oversight in the past decade can be traced to ITServe’s litigation strategy. Through years of lawsuits, the group has overturned key federal safeguards—most notably the 2010 Neufeld Memo—which once required employers to prove a legitimate employer-employee relationship and verifiable work assignments before placing foreign contractors at client sites.
ITServe sued and won. The resulting settlement barred USCIS from enforcing several critical verification measures. Since then, the flow of speculative and fraudulent visa petitions has accelerated.
The group has since targeted nearly every new attempt to tighten oversight—from efforts to raise wage floors to limits on the use of foreign student workers. In its filings, ITServe admitted that requiring higher wages would cause an “unsustainable situation” and “mass layoffs” among its member companies, acknowledging that their business model depends on wage suppression.
Foreign Alignment and India’s Economic Agenda
At diplomatic events such as the “Global Influence of the Indian IT Sector”, Indian officials have publicly praised ITServe for advancing India’s interests inside the United States. ITServe executives, including President Vinay Mahajan, have stated that the alliance’s “first mission is always to protect members’ interest,” which in practice means funneling profits, contracts, and jobs to Indian-based operations.
At one event, executives even admitted that member companies spend “half of their income” in India and employ large overseas teams while earning U.S. revenue. These statements reveal an unmistakable alignment with India’s economic strategy—using U.S. visa channels to strengthen its domestic IT workforce and industrial base.
Undermining Consular Oversight
The effects of ITServe’s influence are visible at U.S. consulates as well. Former consular officer Mahvash Siddiqui, in a Center for Immigration Studies interview, described “industrialized fraud” at the Chennai visa post, including fake degrees and fabricated client letters. She said enforcement was hampered by pressure from local interests and a “very effective Indian lobby in the U.S.”
That lobbying network, Siddiqui said, mirrors ITServe’s long campaign to weaken tools such as 221(g) administrative processing—a key anti-fraud measure requiring companies to provide proof of genuine employment. ITServe celebrated the reduction of such safeguards as a major political win.
A System Engineered for Replacement
Through relentless litigation, lobbying, and coordination with foreign interests, ITServe has become one of the most powerful—and least understood—forces shaping U.S. labor policy. Its cumulative victories have hollowed out enforcement mechanisms, expanded visa inflows, and normalized wage competition that disadvantages American professionals across the tech, engineering, and finance sectors.
As ITServe now pushes to enshrine its gains through the HIRE Act, critics warn that Congress is on the brink of locking into law the same outsourcing model that displaced tens of thousands of domestic workers. What is framed as “reform” is, in truth, the institutionalization of a private labor-import system—one designed to serve a foreign commercial agenda while rewriting the future of America’s workforce.
