I was drawing up a reply that makes an analogy to home contractors using undocumented labor. (I won't entertain far-below-market bids because those contractors are certainly using undocumented labor.) But, then I realized that I eat in restaurants that most likely use undocumented labor, so I have no moral high ground on this issue. (sigh...)
Moving away from analogy to Disney contracting with an IT firm like Cognizant, just to draw a name from the list you provided. Cognizant is perfectly well documenting the labor, but they are stretching beyond recognition job definitions to get around the "spirit" of the H1B law.
It would be interesting for the US legal system to have an "...in the spirit of..." requirement in determining violation in these matters rather than strictly a "...conforms to the written letter of..." requirement. It might prevent some of this cat-and-mouse bs.
