Inspector General Slams H-1B Program: ‘Not Just Fraud… a Criminal Enterprise’
Breitbart ^ | August 6, 2026 | Neil Munro

Posted on 08/06/2026 5:59:22 PM PDT by chickenlips

Criminal networks are selling Americans’ white-collar jobs via the huge and complex H-1B visa program, says Anthony D’Esposito, the Inspector General at the Department of Labor.

“This is not just fraud: This is a criminal enterprise that stretches far beyond the borders of America,” D’Esposito told Breitbart News during an interview in his D.C. office. He explained:

Without revealing too much of an investigation, I think that when complete, one of the things that will probably make the American people most angry… and will probably lead to the biggest change from lawmakers — they will probably bring oversight to this — [is] the fact that many of the individuals that you’re talking about that are selling these jobs, getting kickbacks. We will clearly outline and define their relationships with — whether it’s gangs [or] whether it is transnational criminal organizations.

Esposito met with Breitbart News to describe the purpose and scale of his investigation of fraud within the huge, multi-decade H-1B visa program, which now keeps at least 1 million non-immigrant foreign workers in U.S. jobs sought by American graduates.

We needed an investigation to find this out?

This IG is an optimist if he thinks lawmakers will make significant changes to this worthless program and jeopardize their cash from corporations.

Mass migration has to stop.

For at least 50 years.

Rajesh Subramaniam took over as FedEx DEO from Fred Smith and lo and behold there just weren’t any Americans around who could figure out how to run the company. Despite the fact Americans built and ran the company for decades.

Suddenly all these Indians showed up to run a company that Americans forgot how to manage for some unknown reason.

Not.

1,000,000 people that are voting illegally. Rampant in the area here. Should have been dealt with in trumps first term. But a President Vance will overturn anything and open the flood gates. It’s just all a giant grift.

They are lying about the numbers for the H-1B visa program. I would say there are 5+ million here right now. The key to this is they never go home. There is no tracking of H-1B visa holders leaving. How many left in 2020, 2021, 2022? Nobody knows. Go to your favorite AI and ask. It is preprogrammed to give you a word salad. And they will ALL eventually vote for democrats.

Over 1000 H-1B visa holders work for the Baltimore School System. Go look it up. There are hundreds of examples of this. It is out of control.

Actually, just a Bachelors degree is necessary. I’m sure HR is willing to get up in the middle of the night to call India during THEIR business hours to confirm the degree and employment background ...</sarcasm>

H-1B visas are high-scale Fraud, a “Criminal Enterprise” that is
extremely valuable to foreigners and comes with limitless benefits:
<><>much higher wages than can be earned in home countries.
<><>valuable work experience in American jobs
<><>resume-enhancing promotions,
<><>the ability to live in comfort in American suburbia,
<><>citizenship at birth for their newborns,
<><>a sure track to naturalization for the visa holding foreigners
<><>legalization for spouse and children,
<><>a magnet for foreigners’ family members.

This is a transnational criminal enterprise operating to the detriment of America and law-abiding American citizens and must be curtailed.

Yes, but no mass migration of anyone else either.

It has historically not been a plus for the country.

I know that is not what people have been saying for the past 60 years but it is reality.

Migration needs to be slow and dispersed so they become you, you do not have to change for them.

The first 10% probably were genius or near genius level. The quality of the folks coming over now is below average across the board.

They are stealing the future of young Americans.
