The H-1B Visa System Has a Repeat Offender Problem

Aiden Mello | Simon Hankinson

One scandal proves nothing. Two may be a coincidence. But after years of violations and investigations, let’s admit the H-1B visa system is rife with fraud and abuse of American workers.

We are not talking trivial numbers here. The site Layoffhedge has compiled records of H-1B Labor Condition Application filings from 2015 to 2026. There are 6,835,185—equivalent to the population of Los Angeles and Chicago combined—not including all their dependents.

America’s recent graduates and laid-off or unemployed tech workers are angry. American companies are using cheaper foreign labor to replace, not just supplement, American workers.

Universities from Pennsylvania to California are exploiting their uncapped ability to hire foreigners using H-1Bs, despite graduating thousands of students each year who need jobs. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has introduced the Colleges for the American People Act to remove the H-1B visa cap exemption for higher education and end this anti-American discrimination.

The Department of Labor announced last Wednesday that it would open an investigation into the H-1B and PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) systems to combat fraud. H-1B is a visa that supposedly allows foreign skilled workers to come here. PERM is the process that allows them to permanently immigrate here.

Anthony D’Esposito, inspector general for the Department of Labor, said Wednesday that Cognizant was among the dozens of firms that were issued subpoenas in the investigation.
