34,000 dead voters are on the voter rolls in North Carolina.

What will it take for you to support the SAVE America Act to secure our elections?

@RepChipRoy Introducing a bill means nothing . It has to be passed , and signed into law . It has to be linked with defense funding . Nothing else matters .

E.J. ANTONI: Companies lay off their entire American workforce, then claim they can't find workers and demand more visa programs.

This is the American labor market. It's supposed to work for Americans.

Texas ranks #1 in America for H-1B visa fraud.

Abbott has sold out Americans to the highest bidder.

[Rational Mind @MindRational]

End #h1-b , l1 visa . Indians never leave even if they don’t have work . Why does a f1 student need spouse to also be here and work ? What retarded immigration process is this ? @USCIS @usdol @USTechWorkers @4US_Workers @amandalouise416

@SenatorDurbin Just throw open the borders and let everyone in . We will have the congress replaced also .

"What I later found out was that there is significant overseas pressure from the indian government for these big indian names in Silicon Valley to push business away from America and into india."

This is true. India's own KNIT Framework published by India's Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, explicitly encourages members of the Indian diaspora to use their expertise, business relationships, investment capital, and leadership positions to advance India's economic development through knowledge transfer, sourcing, investment, and technology transfer.

As the United States negotiates trade and economic partnerships, Americans should understand that India has spent decades building a network of Indian-origin executives, investors, and decision-makers throughout American companies and institutions who are encouraged to help advance India's economic interests. America has no comparable network embedded throughout India advocating for American jobs, American investment, and American workers.

I encourage every American to read this document from India's Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs.

Every day we see layoffs at major American companies. Then we see these same companies hiring people on H-1B visas. There should not be one H-1B visa issued to any company that lays off Americans. Not. One.

Our US citizen sons and daughters who just graduated do not stand any chance of getting jobs when caste-based hiring managers create jobs just for their caste and do not even advertise!
@USCIS @DHSgov
@KLAcorp Any comments on excluding US citizens from internships and jobs?

Freeze immigration and end the work visas completely. We cannot sustain this

[Chris Brunet @chrisbrunet]

The University of Pittsburgh (@PittTweet) just posted 4 notices of intent to hire H-1B workers:

- Data Scientist: $58,000
- Database Administrator: $56,889
- Data Scientist: $70,000
- Data Analyst: $78,638

No American citizens were qualified for any of these jobs.

@David_J_Bier So they are cheap labor now ?

[Attorney General Raúl R. Labrador @Raul_Labrador]

The H-1B visa program was originally intended to bring in foreign workers only when Americans aren’t available. Instead, corporations have exploited it to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor.

I’m urging the Department of Labor to raise the wage floors that make this abuse profitable. When the financial incentive disappears, so does the scheme.

@HinduAmericans Indian Americans should tell the telegu community from Cheating and scamming Americans .

[Hany Girgis @SanDiegoKnight]

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin dropped a key detail in yesterday’s Senate testimony that’s left a lot of H-1B applicants confused.

More than 200,000 of the ~286,000 FY2026 applications received so far included the new $100,000 fee … not because it was optional, but because it triggered expedited review.

Here’s exactly what “expedited” means in this case:

Petitions that pay the fee are being processed in roughly 15 days.

Standard processing without it?

About 7.5 months.

Mullin’s exact words: the fee “allows us to process them in a little bit faster of a manner.”

Important clarification:

✅ This is not the regular Premium Processing service (which is still available separately for a few thousand dollars).
✅ The $100k fee is mandatory only for new H-1B petitions where the worker is outside the U.S. and needs consular processing to enter.
✅ It does not apply to extensions, amendments, or anyone already working in the U.S. on H-1B.

So the big number you’re seeing isn’t “everyone paid $100k to apply.”

It’s how many new overseas hires had to pay for the fast lane just to get their visa stamped and enter the country on time.

Is this what immigration attorneys are seeing?
