This proves the entire H-1B system is rigged to replace American workers with fraud networks that steal jobs and ship data back home.
Somali Fraud Is Only A Drop In The Bucket
The Somali fraud is only a drop in the bucket, as it compares to the elaborate Indian fraud and scam networks that are taking American tech jobs and hurting the American economy, through H-1B visas, bought degrees and fake certifications.
Since COVID, 90% of the net gain in American jobs have gone to foreign workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Tech companies are passing over American college students for foreign workers, many of whom have scam degrees and certifications. In a study conducted by the Institute for Sound Public Policy, 60% of American citizens and 86% of foreign Computer Science Master’s graduates got jobs six months after graduation from UMass Amherst in 2022.
In one instance, the University of Pittsburgh tried to hire for a tech position, yet the position was open only to candidates with an H-1B visa. And another in a taxpayer-funded university in Indiana. Another at Stanford.
By allowing the prioritization of H-1B workers in STEM, the market has been flooded with fake foreign degrees while devaluing science and engineering degrees for American college grads, leaving American STEM talent more susceptible to under and unemployment.
A South China Morning Post expose revealed an India-based University, Manav Bharti University (MBU), reportedly sold 36,000 fake degrees over 11 years for less than $5,000 each- and U.S. employers accepted them!
