Yes, it's cheaper, but also, would you rather take a programmer from India who knows what he's doing and won't complain or an American who graduated from a "no child left behind" system where parents get teachers fired if they use red pens to mark their precious babies' papers?
For that matter, why hire an American when you can hire, say, someone from Hong Kong or Singapore? About the same pay, but you are likely to get a much better qualified, more disciplined and just plain superior worker.
