⚖️ 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.

regulations.gov/comment/USCIS-…
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.

regulations.gov/comment/USCIS-…
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.

regulations.gov/document/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.

EAGLE Act / HR3648 debate thread. 🧵
Zoe Lofgren says a European immigrant with a bachelor's degree will get a green card before a person from India with a PhD and calls it a "racist" system.

Never mind that PhDs are in the vast minority. If she wants merit based immigration, how about banning the H-1B lottery?
Tom McClintock says the bill only benefits immigrants from two countries: China and India and thanks to spillover, India got 35% of available green cards last year.

ACICS ordered to shut down by the Department of Education.

Good - no more visa mills being allowed to operate under the blessing of this federal entity and churning out OPT work permits for fake “students”.

Of course, we still will have fake universities flogging phony certifications like this one in Houston and its sister fake university in Massachusetts. Evidence suggests both are run out of India as a website / call center scam.

The website for Houston University was shut down after they were exposed as frauds by the Houston media but an archive can be seen here:

⚖️ ITServe Alliance vs DHS ⚖️

Reading the ruling in this case issued on 2/17, the judge completely slammed @ITServeorg for being wrong about almost every single aspect of the case.
ITServe's case revolves around one of their H1B dependent bodyshops (Saxon Global) which argues they must be allowed to bench their workers and shuffle them around the country without doing any paperwork or paying any fees that hurt their bottom line.
Saxon Global was BAILED OUT by we, the federal taxpayer, to the tune of $2 million dollars. Their "loan" was forgiven which means they don't have to pay back a single cent. And they say they can't afford to pay USCIS a measly couple of bucks... 🙄

THANK YOU @ChuckGrassley.

STEM OPT is an ILLEGALLY created program that should not be expanded by every admin at the whim of the cheap labor lobby.

If Congress wanted to give out 200K guestworker visas annually, they would have passed a law!

law360.com/immigration/ar…
@ChuckGrassley #Business and #journalism are unequivocally not "STEM" fields. Berkeley and NYU are simply desperate for international students to pay inflated tuition.
@ChuckGrassley There is no STEM worker shortage in these fields! BLS doesn't even keep statistics on the number of "anthrozoology" jobs. The only reason to classify them as STEM is to justify importing more international students for greedy universities.

HAHAHA. Hyderabad IT mafia front @ITServeorg takes a loss in court. Score a point for American workers...

law360.com/articles/14667…
@ITServeorg The judge in this case Trevor McFadden is a Trump appointed federal judge. We sincerely hope this judge stays in the DC district court for a long time and issues more rulings like that that benefit Americans, NOT Hyderabad gangsters... Image
@ITServeorg The @USChamber is also affected by this ruling, as they are squarely in the corner of #h1b dependent BODYSHOPS. Somewhere @SuzanneUSCC is crying in whatever mansion she can afford on her $250k salary to beg for DOUBLING guestworkers visas.

👀 MUST READ article from @NeilMunroDC.

Biden hasn't just opened the floodgates, he's detonated the entire dam. 👇

breitbart.com/politics/2022/… via @BreitbartNews
@NeilMunroDC @BreitbartNews "White-Collar American graduates are going to be filing bankruptcy on their student loans." -@jackjaypalmer

Thanks for nothing @POTUS. Don't do our kids any favors. They are the FUTURE of America and you would rather gift it to foreign scabs to please your corporate donors.
Indian workers are occupying FOUR JOBS EACH. One for themselves and three for other scabs illegally working on tourist visas. Image
