⚖️ H1B Lottery lawsuit ⚖️
Yesterday plaintiffs submitted their reply to DHS and ITServe's motions for summary judgment, and included exhibits showing DHS was warned about abuse of the #h1blottery electronic registration system. 🧵
Compete America warned about "flooding the system" with duplicate registrations. They predicted good faith users would be harmed and trust in the lottery system would erode.

Information Technology Industry Council expressed the same concerns about flooding the system with phony applications and asked USCIS to clarify how they planned to prevent fraud.

DHS itself mentioned "flooding" in the H1B electronic registration rule and the only safeguard was the honor system (!). They knew multiple lotteries would have to take place and had no real ideas how to catch fraud. Total incompetence by @USCIS.

Fraud and abuse of the new electronic H1B registration system (including by bodyshops) was mentioned in dozens of other public comments. There is literally no excuse @USCISDirector. The lottery in its current form should be ended before more are harmed.
