The H-1B work visa programme, long used by US companies to hire skilled foreign professionals, is now at the centre of one of the Trump administration’s biggest fraud probes yet, and US Vice President JD Vance has a warning for those he accused of gaming the system at the cost of American jobs.
During a stop at the Wisconsin Air National Guard’s 128th Air Refuelling Wing base in Milwaukee on Wednesday, Vance told the crowd that the Labour Department had already begun issuing subpoenas and opening investigations into what he called “foreign fraudsters” misusing the visa system.
“We have a program called the H-1B visa program. This goes to show how broad-based the fraud task force is we’re… we’re fighting for your taxpayer money, but we’re also making sure that fraudsters don’t take advantage of these visa programs,” he said.
