Victory. No more taxpayer-backed home loans for illegal aliens.

This is one of those things you can't believe was actually happening.

American citizens are struggling to buy homes while mass migration drives up prices and strains the housing supply. 🧵

Trump administration appeals ruling blocking $100,000 H-1B fee https://t.co/0wfL5Iqotf

[Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt]

Authorities busted a massive fake-degree racket: 100k+ counterfeit certificates seized from 28 “universities” in India.

One mill sold 36k fakes for as little as $1,400 each.

This would violate 18 USC 1546(a). It's time to prosecute those who broke the law. 🧵

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Rogue, leftist judges are weaponizing justice to secure political outcomes.

Now they've barred @POTUS from cracking-down on H-1B visas that flood the market with cheap foreign labor.

My bill fights back against the H-1B scam–it's time to pass S2821 & put American workers first.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Good point re: foreign worker visas. They are rife with fraud and distort the free market: they are not examples of a true free market.

"The group also includes an Indian immigrant accused of filing fraudulent H-1B visa petitions"

[CBS News @CBSNews]

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration plans to announce it is seeking to revoke the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud, expanding its unprecedented denaturalization campaign, CBS News has exclusively learned. https://t.co/dFVDzHXGF6

[Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt]

An H-1B fee is now a constitutional crisis?

The Constitution does not guarantee a steady supply of cheap foreign labor. 8 U.S.C. § 1182(f) lets the President restrict entry when foreign labor harms American interests.

The rogue judge veto has to end.

@USTechWorkers @SickJet The admin is pursuing regulatory reforms in addition to the $100k fee, it was all in the same executive order. I would not fault the administration for adopting a multi pronged strategy to H1B reform.

@PlumbNick @evilfeynman "In 2025, he ordered the U.S. government to provide 48 hours notice before deporting a doctor from Lebanon with a H1B visa who had returned to the U.S."

@RepChipRoy For anyone who still thinks the 100K fee didn't do anything. 👇

Can always count on Obama appointed judges to rule against American workers.

[Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy]

Another activist judge (appointed by Obama) just sided against President Trump and his efforts to crack down on the absurdity that is the H-1B program.

Rep. Roy just introduced the American White-Collar Worker Jobs Act to END H-1B abuse and protect AMERICAN tech workers.

[Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy]

Rep. Roy’s American White-Collar Worker Jobs Act would replace the absurd H-1B lottery with a wage-based selection process, require employers to actively recruit American workers, and prevent companies that have recently laid off employees from hiring H-1B workers. Common-sense reforms that put American jobs first.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

The H1B program is rife with fraud. How many Americans have been hurt by this farce?

[Congressman Greg Steube @RepGregSteube]

This is insane. The House needs to take up my bill which will eliminate the H-1B program entirely. Thank you @kayleighmcenany for bringing attention to this issue.

Pass the EXILE Act!

[Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany]

🚨 BREAKING: @KenPaxtonTX is SUING a Texas childcare company owned by a Chinese national for allegedly engaging in H-1B VISA FRAUD.

"We actually used AI" to find them, Paxton told me.

"We have investigations of 30 North Texas businesses... [and] we haven't even covered the gambit of the entire state... Imagine what's going on across the country."

[Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy]

Rep. Roy: "Three quarters of American STEM students can't find employment after college. That's the reality when you have corporate America doing what they've been doing for years, which is importing cheap labor, because it looks good in a Wall Street Journal editorial or the Chamber of Commerce talking points."

Donald Trump's crackdown on H1B visa abuse sends Dallas home prices way down https://t.co/zZUw30lJLu

[Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy]

For decades, corporations have used H-1B visas to replace qualified Americans with cheaper foreign labor while claiming a “worker shortage.” After 122,000+ tech layoffs in 2025, that excuse is dead. Reform H-1B, end the abuse, and put American STEM workers first.

[Chip Roy @chiproytx]

Here are Roy's proposed reforms:

- Prohibits employers from hiring H1-B workers if they've laid off workers in the last year
- Terminates H1-B lottery and instead reviews applicants based on merit
- Ends adjustment of status allowing H1-B visa holders to apply for lawful permanent residency which undercuts the visa's intended temporary status
- Requires a labor market test conducted by DOL and USCIS that reviews employers' hiring practices to ensure they made an effort to hire locals/Americans first
- Abolishes the Optional Practical Training program which drives foreign displacement of American workers in STEM jobs
