An administrative requirement causes a lot of these types of postings with odd-looking salary ranges. Chances are that the company already has a foreign national candidate in the hiring pipeline for the job at this salary. INS requires that US citizens be given a fair shot at the job posting. One of the requirements is to advertise the position publicly. Oracle-L is a public forum.
What usually happens is that either nobody applies for the position (the salary's too low, so everybody pokes fun at it). Sometimes, somebody does apply. But it's very unlikely that at this price, it'll be anyone qualified. Having seen this process to fruition and beyond, what often happens is that the person immigrates to the US, works hard, and makes good. The company benefits from good labor at a bargain price for at least a year or two. The applicant benefits in several ways. He or she gets physically to the USA, making well more than enough money than it takes for most people to live on. If the person becomes indispensable, the host company sponsors a green card application. From there, because the person is free to compete in the USA job market, he or she begins making the kind of money you'd expect.
