This is not legal: Donald Trump administration responds to 'major H-1B scam', ads in newspapers that no one sees
Times of India ^ | 10/19/2025 | News Desk

Posted on 10/19/2025 9:04:44 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Donald Trump aide Harmeet Dhillon, the Indian-origin assistant attorney general for civil rights at the US Department of Justice, reacted to a viral post on an apparent H-1B scam and outrightly rejected it as "illegal". The post claimed that some tech positions are only being advertised in local newspapers so that no one can see them, and they can hire H-1Bs. "A reader from Connecticut shares job listings for tech positions from local newspapers that they intend to fill with Indian H-1Bs," the post said.

"None of these jobs can be applied for online. If you want to become a Senior Data Analyst for Black and Decker, you have to pick up a copy of the Sunday paper. This is intentional. These companies advertise jobs only in the paper---which nobody under the age of 75 reads---solely because they're legally required to post the job SOMEWHERE before they can hire H-1Bs. Since nobody applies---because nobody reads the paper---they can then go to the government and be like, "We couldn't find any Americans for the job! Pretty please give us Indians [which we'll pay pennies to and make them work 18-hour days]!"

"We need new federal regulations to stop this. It's a clear fraud being perpetuated on the American people," the viral post said.

"This is not to hire an H1B. They've already hired him. He's been working there for years. This is to start his application for a green card," one comment said.

Trying to control nonimmigrant employment doesn’t work. The combination of guest workers from a low-trust society (that’s India to you) + employers addicted to cheap foreign labor harms Americans.

Shut it all down & send them home by tramp steamer.

the $100,000 needs to be a yearly tax

If you remove the ability to procure “elite human capital” (cheap Indian labor), we may find our school systems are adequate.

One more thing: If this nation continues to allow Indiots to push Americans aside, Congress better be prepared for a massive student loan bailout.

It’s not even that they are cheaper but that companies can really mistreat them since if they get fired they have to go back to India. Americans can leave their company and get a job some where else.
Businesses think loyalty is a one was street.

Which is another reason work visas need to be ended & everyone needs to be sent home.
