"1,076 of these foreign individuals – all of whom were willing participants in the scheme"

Never thought we would be saying we miss the @BarackObama days when @ICEgov actually enforced immigration law.

ice.gov/news/releases/…
The 1,076 students lost their status and faced deportation. They knew they were breaking the law. Actions have consequences.
"Since the whole enterprise was known as a fraud to everyone concerned — recruiters, brokers, "students", and some employers of the "students" — all were clearly participating in illegal activity."

cis.org/North/Unusual-…
"students used the visas issued through the bogus scheme to get jobs at companies such as Apple, Facebook and Morgan Stanley... The students will not face further punishment beyond being thrown out of the country."

theguardian.com/us-news/2016/a…
"(UNNJ), the first known Ice university... shuttered in April 2016, resulting in the arrest of 21 recruiters. The 1,076 students there had their visas revoked but were not given immediate deportation orders like the Farmington students."

theguardian.com/us-news/2020/d…
"This illegal practice is known as "pay to stay" because foreign nationals pay money...to be enrolled in a school for the sole purpose of obtaining immigration status as a student - but with no intention of or interest in going to class"

docplayer.net/18616043-Tripl…
Sarah Saldana (Obama's director of ICE) expressed concern those committing visa fraud would become legal permanent residents and citizens.

@JoeBiden's ICE: What national security? Just staple a green card to their fake diploma...

"Charles Edwards" is the man pictured in the photo who just pled guilty to stealing software and databases from the government while he was Inspector General for DHS under Obama.

Read on to learn what the media isn't telling you about "Charles". 🧵

lawandcrime.com/high-profile/e…
This guy's job was to act as a watchdog for fraud. Instead, he defrauded the government to steal the personal data for a quarter of a million DHS and USPS workers and sell it to India.
Who would steal software and databases to develop a product to sell back to the government? Sounds familiar right? Charles KUMAR Edwards took a page out of the outsourcing playbook.

⚖️ "Pay to stay" court update ⚖️

It probably helps when the judges assigned to these #sueandsettle cases are @BarackObama appointees...

pacermonitor.com/case/21012918/…
"The proceedings in the UNNJ case will bear watching as it is possible that up to 1,076 individual F1 students implicated in the scheme may be affected by the result."

myattorneyusa.com/f1-students-in…
"Even if the plaintiffs prevail, it is entirely possible that some, if not most or all, will be found to have committed visa fraud in the individualized proceedings requested."

Or not... DOJ is going to expunge any record of visa fraud as part of the settlement terms.

Feds Slam Visa Holders' Bid To 'Leapfrog' Work Permit Line via @Law360

law360.com/immigration/ar…
@Law360 "The claims also detail one man's experience of being unable to be with his mother as she underwent cancer treatment in India."

What does that have to do with work permits? Just go back to India. They have jobs too. And you won't have to worry about getting a work permit!
@Law360 "The agency added that it has yet to replace 75 of 105 employees lost to attrition during a concurrent hiring freeze."

Aha, so that is why Doug Rand is prioritizing hiring. USCIS lost most of their rubber stamp army. Impressive that only 30 people stamped 172,000 green cards!

"H1B Only"

Americans need not apply.

linkedin.com/jobs/view/mult…
@RepJimBanks these are the companies abusing the H1B visa to illegally discriminate against Americans. They hire 100% of their workforce from India.
TechnoGen claims to be a "minority & women owned small business" to qualify for federal contract set-asides. They are exploiting SBA programs designed to benefit minority and female Americans who they then proceed to exclude when hiring.

“Many pro-labor groups say the H-1B visa program enriches companies like Facebook at the expense of American workers”

politico.com/news/magazine/…
“Critics say that businesses regularly game the system to pay H-1B visa holders below market wages, both exploiting foreign workers and stacking the deck against American job seekers.”
“Robert Bouchard, who worked for years as a recruiter at IT staffing firms and now consults and podcasts under the name the H-1B Guy, said that he regularly came across resumes that exaggerated or fabricated an H-1B worker’s skills.”

Northwestern Polytechnic in Fremont, CA (Silicon Valley bodyshop central) is at the beating heart of the Day 1 CPT scam.

cis.org/North/Visa-Mil…
"Spending millions on foreign recruiters, Northwestern Polytechnic University enrolls 99% of its students — more than 6,000 overall last year — from overseas, with little regard for their qualifications. It has no full-time, permanent faculty"

buzzfeednews.com/article/mollyh…
"The school issues grades that are inflated, or simply made up, so that academically unqualified students can keep their visas, along with the overseas bank loans that allow the students to pay their tuition."
