The Labor Department announced that it will increase protections for Americans as much as it can, while cracking down on fraud and abuse within various foreign guest worker programs. In a news release, the Labor Department said it would implement a series of changes aimed at aggressively combating fraud and abuse within visa programs like the H-1B visa.
Every year, more than 100,000 foreign workers are brought to the U.S. on the H-1B visa. Most recently, that number has ballooned to potentially hundreds of thousands each year, as universities and non-profits are exempt from the cap. With more entering the U.S. through the visa, Americans are often replaced.
Entities who engage in visa program fraud and abuse are breaking our laws and are harming American workers, negatively affecting Americans ability to provide for themselves and their families, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta said in a statement. We will enforce vigorously those laws, including heightened use of criminal referrals. The U.S. Department of Labor will focus on preventing visa program abuse and take every available legal action against those who abuse these programs.

There is a lot of tourist visa fraud as well. People come here on 6 month tourist visas and work in violation of the terms of the visa. They fly home twice per year so they don’t overstay, but they are still working illegally - typically for cash.
