You are using foreign labor to cut your overhead and are thus doing two things: Screwing the foreign pilots as you are not paying them the going rate for ferrying; and giving flying gigs to non-Americans while profiteering.
But it's south Florida, so no surprise.
The offer is there, they can take it or not take it. It's an option. No one is forcing anyone to take this job. Many people, including myself (a while ago) took this option in order to build flight time and develop aviation career. I would not be able to succeed without it.
