Former US Representative and economist Dr Dave Brat has alleged widespread fraud within the H-1B visa system, claiming in a podcast that India’s Chennai district (Tamil Nadu) secured more than twice the total number of visas legally permitted nationwide.

Speaking on the podcast, Brat said the H-1B system had been "captured by industrial-scale fraud", asserting that visa allocations from India were surpassing the statutory limits.

@b3 Can deduce that most have never done basic courses on technical subjects quite quickly and don't bother to learn. A new technolocg is not a pattern, principle, or a theory.

But most surprising is how the most knowledgeable just go along with it.

What started off as supplemental staffing during Y2K has now become a takeover effort. We are not getting the best and brightest anymore. Many of these abusers have more than one job that they have internally outsource to someone in India. They then work on their actual businesses like real estate, gas stations, restaurants, tutoring places etc. It’s because of them that we have to deal with RTO.
