Quick update on the H-1B state contractor analysis and a preview from a small subset of parsed HHSC Contracts. The most interesting finding (to me) so far: A single H-1B dependent contractor received payment for $10,460,376.99 in staffing contracts from the state of Texas since Greg Abbott has been in office. In only 12 days of April 2026, they've netted $309,113. They also received over $2.7M in forgiven PPP loans and approval for at least 35 H-1B workers. The images below are just a snapshot of recent HHSC state contracts for IT Staffing Augmentation - only one job has a billable rate below $90 an hour. Also of note - most of the "workers" names I've searched list different employers on LinkedIn than the contractor reporting them as the assigned worker. It almost makes you think that many of these people are either not actually working on these contracts or they can't say they are because their H-1B visa was sponsored by a different employer. However, some also show a location in India - so who knows... @GregAbbott_TX how much more of this do you need to see?
