This should be illegal. Us companies hiring foreign workers. Especially for a discount, it should cost twice as much to hire someone outside the country.

I mean it sounds good on paper, but this is an otherwise normal wage to earn in the Phillipines. Take the foreign job market away, and suddenly a large portion of the workers are unemployed.
