Biden's Deputies Hide Mass Fraud in H-1B Middle-Class Outsourcing Visa
[Breitbart] Indian-born CEOs are closing their firms and fleeing back to India to escape charges of fraud in the annual lotteries for visas to import H-1B foreign contract workers, says a lawyer for many Indian-owned subcontractors and visa workers.

“So yes, they are getting prosecuted, they are getting investigated, and that’s the reason why some of them are packing their bags and closing their companies,” said Rahul Reddy, an immigration lawyer in Texas.

Reddy made his comments during an online question-and-answer session with Indian graduates who are worried about the federal investigations into the H-1B fraud in the annual lottery for 85,000 new H-1B work permits. The work permits are used to import lower-wage migrants to take the jobs needed by U.S. college graduates.

Many Indian graduates in India cooperate with the fraud because the H-1B visas put them on a long, indentured-service path to U.S. jobs, green cards, and citizenship.

But many other Indian graduates from U.S. colleges oppose the lottery fraud because it hinders their three legal chances to convert their “Optional Practical Training” (OPT) work permits into an H-1B visa with its valuable path to U.S. citizenship.

#1 Not a single Indian CEO is named. Nor is a company fingered. An article based not on investigation but hear-say.

#2 Those of us who worked IT in the early 90s saw the fraud. Companies would ads in Computerworld for professionals that would be the length of nearly the entire page with 'requirements'. No one could meet those but the company could say it did advertise for Americans and found none, so they would get a H1B fill. No one in the government would bother to check if the H1B fit all those 'requirements'. It was a game. Today they don't even bother with the game - see Disney fire American employees and use H1Bs openly.

#4 My older sister, PhD in Education, explained to me that there were jobs for fewer than 50% of the graduating PhDs even in the Baby Boom Era. The Search Committees already had a candidate picked out when they announced an 'opening' -- so, yes, it was a racket then and now.

You mean like the dreaded DoD Civilian (Pre-selection) hiring ?
