Ken Paxton goes after fraudsters in Texas

According to a report at the Texas Scorecard, Texas’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, is going after the fraudsters abusing the H-1B visa system:

Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced a wide-sweeping investigation into alleged abuse of the federal H-1B visa program by Texas businesses, issuing civil investigative demands to three North Texas companies suspected of operating sham enterprises to fraudulently sponsor foreign workers.

Standing outside a single-family home listed as the office address for one of the companies highlighted in recent reporting, Paxton credited BlazeTV and Texas Scorecard personality Sara Gonzales with prompting the investigation.

A portion of Paxton’s interview with Gonzales was filmed outside a residential home listed as the office address for 3Bees Technologies Inc., a location that Gonzales reported appeared vacant, despite the company’s sponsorship of multiple H-1B visa holders.

Paxton is investigating “companies featuring websites advertising nonexistent products or services while listing residential homes or unfinished buildings as offices.” And, “despite those irregularities, the companies allegedly sponsored numerous H-1B visas in recent years.”

After reading this, I’m now convinced that the United States must cease H-1B visas. It’s just too damned difficult to track and monitor hundreds of thousands of visas that may be fraudulent. Criminals can too easily reap huge potential profits. All that is required is properly filling out the paper work. When it is approved, the visas can then be sold to the highest bidding foreigner. Their odds of getting caught and convicted are low, as it takes lots of hours and dollars to make the case, even when it is obvious.

The fraudsters’ odds of losing their court cases depends upon getting, or not getting, a leftist judge, who has the power to make cases long, costly, and difficult to win. The government’s dollar and manpower costs are significant

What could go wrong?

What do you think could “go wrong”?

Got a letter from Ken tonight. He’s going after the AISD POS Superintendent who claims he had no power to stop all the school kids from walking out of class and heading down to the riots to kiss Antifa butts. I don’t think that refugee boy should be a school superintendent if the POS can’t control what goes on in his Somali style Learing Centers and the wildass little morons who can’t read or do math.

No exaggeration

You are confusing Paxton with Gov. Ron DeSantis.

There’s a lot of tech companies in Austin. Should be easy to find. (Hint: look for the Indian named law firms and brokers.)

He’s always going after something, but I never see results.

Here is a peak at two years worth.

Key Successful Suits and Settlements (2024-2026)

Meta ($1.4 Billion Settlement): Resolved claims that Meta’s “Tag Suggestions” violated Texas law by capturing biometric data without consent.

Google ($1.375 Billion Settlement): Secured the largest-ever multi-state settlement (later largely in Texas’s favor) over consumer data privacy violations.

Samsung (Data Privacy Lawsuit): Won a lawsuit against Samsung regarding the illegal collection of user data via TV microphones.

Financial Institutions:
Secured victories against Blackrock, State Street, and Vanguard regarding energy market manipulation.

Consumer Protection:
Initiated suits against Eli Lilly for bribery, Pfizer for vaccine misinformation, and Allstate for data harvesting.

State Authority & Law Enforcement:
Defended Texas voter ID laws, prosecuted election fraud cases, and fought to enforce the display of the Ten Commandments in school districts.

Just a few.

You couldn’t pay me enough to go to lib Austin. H1B should never have been created.

Republican governors and Attorney Generals in other states should be making similar efforts against H-1Bs. As the mid-term elections approach, these efforts will serve as a good contrast to the 20 Democratic state Attorney generals who have filed suit against trump’s $100k H-1B fee :
