#Alert After vetting the rumors, it’s seems that Sen. Mike Lee is going to attempt bringing bill S.386 (India/Big Tech green card giveaway bill) for a UC vote next week based on leaked sources. We will be working to stop this, but please call your Senators in DC as well. #NoS386
Lee will add the following provisions to the bill: 1) Provide early provision filing for EAD cards for those who have an approved I-140 petition for at least 2 years. 2) 3 year delay for the 50/50 rule that bars companies for applying for more H1Bs that are H1B dependent.
The net result would still be MORE immigration numbers due to the early provision filing for EAD cards. This will create a venue for OPT, J1, TN visa workers to a permanent fast track work status to applying for immediate GCs & taking advantage of getting a provisional EAD.

A federal investigation is underway after a senior official from @GovKathyHochul’s office flagged fraud involving dozens of state-contracted programming "consultants" who falsified their educational credentials.
The suspects: H-1B visa workers from India hired by outsourcing firms.
A tech recruiter claims Indian students are falsifying bank statements and transcripts to get visas, with some paying others to attend job interviews for them. Once hired, they have someone in India do all the work because they are incapable of doing the work themselves.
An Indian citizen charged for receiving kickbacks for hiring fraudsters is pleading with U.S. authorities for his Green Card petition to proceed while his criminal case is pending in court. This highlights the massive fraud contributing to the Green Card backlog for Indians.
Here’s a reason why stapling a Green Card to a diploma is a bad idea:
An international student from India falsified transcripts, bank documents, and a death certificate for his father as part of a grand scheme to obtain a student visa and a full-ride scholarship to Lehigh.
The troubling part is he would have gotten away with the fraud had he not admitted his sins on Reddit by also *naming* the university where he attended. A Reddit moderator reported it to the university and from there, it wasn’t hard to deduce who the fraudster was.
Fabricating documents is a common occurrence to obtain legal immigration benefits. This is one of the reasons why “illegal bad, legal good” is a pointless argument — the LEGAL system is also being scammed!
This guy got caught for being dumb. Now imagine the numbers of got-aways.
Bodycam footage released by the Hoboken Police shows them arresting two female international students from India for alleged shoplifting at a ShopRite. Both are graduate students at Stevens Institute of Technology (@FollowStevens) and are repeat shoplifters.
“Will this affect us for H-1B process?” one of them asks as they’re being transported to get booked at the police station.
“Will this affect us for H-1B process or any job?”
Officer: “Yes! If they run your information, it’s going to show that you were arrested.”
Their names haven’t been released. According to Indian media, they hail from the Telugu region of India.
The Telugu region has been the largest source for outsourcing labor and student visas. Lots of cases of immigration fraud coming out of there.
🧵 Paul Krugman has been activated by the Biden administration to gaslight Americans into believing all that chaos at the border, which has resulted in millions of illegal aliens being released into the country, has actually been good for the economy.
Considering working-age Americans are dropping out of the labor force, the prudent thing to do would be to figure out why and take steps to help get those Americans into the workforce — not replace them with foreigners!
Also, more than half think jobs aren’t “plentiful”.
🧵 Apple pays $25M fine for finding ways to disqualify Americans from applying for jobs so they could help their H-1B visa foreign workers obtain employment-based Green Cards for “permanent” job positions.
These tech companies claim they can’t find American talent to fill these job openings. Then why are they going to through the trouble to ensure Americans can’t apply for these jobs? Why is a tech company forcing Americans to apply for jobs through regular paper mail?
Remember DOJ prosecuting Facebook (now Meta) for exactly the same thing in 2020? Just like Apple, Facebook hired immigration lawyers to find ways to disqualify Americans from obtaining jobs that were reserved for H-1B visa workers looking for Green Card sponsorship.
.@VivekGRamaswamy’s immigration policy is basically anyone who can prove they’ll be a net economic benefit and can pass some form US civics test before obtaining a visa.
There are over a billion people who could easily fit this requirement.
The only points that matter when discussing immigration policy are:
• the numbers
• qualifications/quality of the immigrants
• what’s best for the American people
Vivek’s policy already fails the first and third point.
The numbers matter!
“Bring in people who are actually in love with this country”
How exactly are you going to determine that? To obtain a Green Card, people are willing to just lie about anything in order to obtain one.
