Texas AG Ken Paxton Investigates H-1B Visa Fraud Scandal

H-1B Visa Fraud Investigation Launched

• 🎯 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into three companies suspected of H-1B visa fraud.
• 🔍 The investigation, prompted by reporting from Sara Gonzales, aims to uncover the truth about the companies' practices and whether they are defrauding consumers.
• ⚖️ Companies found to be in violation could face consequences such as losing their ability to operate in Texas and having to pay significant funds back to the state.

Tools and Tactics for Investigation

• 📝 The Attorney General's office is utilizing Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) to gather information, which function similarly to interrogatories in litigation.
• 🧅 Gonzales describes the complexity of the issue as an "onion," with layers of misdirection, including redirects to non-existent addresses and remote working locations with no personnel.
• 💡 Paxton emphasizes his office's extensive experience in going after companies that defraud consumers, assuring that this is not their first investigation of this nature.

Impact on American Workers

• 📈 In 2025, nearly 42,000 H-1B beneficiaries were approved in Texas, with the top 10 companies accounting for almost 13,000 jobs.
• ⚠️ Many displaced IT workers report that the H-1B program is being used to replace American workers, contrary to its original intent of bringing in highly skilled individuals not available domestically.
• 🗣️ Paxton states that the program's intent was to foster economic growth and create jobs, but it appears to have been twisted to displace American workers.
