The employers do know this as they have to sponsor these people to allow them to come here with H1B Visas. All the tech companies do this.

*Yes, I know employees are paid however they can't change jobs and they are stuck with whatever pay the employer gives them.

Yes, in this case they know ahead of time. That is very true.
