Hall of Shame: The H-1B Kickback Machine
This isn’t about “cheap labor.” It’s about a giant money-laundering scheme disguised as staffing.
• Fake jobs. Body shops file for H-1Bs by the thousands. Many of the jobs don’t exist or are inflated. Workers are benched, shuffled around, or assigned to “clients” that are just shells.
This is the part folks do not understand:
What is a fake job?
A) A position within a company that is not needed and only exists to hire someone into that will bill the company and kickback to the executive that created it. That Executive may be kicking back to his superior all the way to the Board of Directors and beyond.
B) A contract put out by the government for a service or product that is not needed and only created to kick back tax dollars to lobbyists, body shops, and others.
C) A contract with either entity that is not needed and serves simply to drain money from consumers, shareholders, and taxpayers.
• Kickbacks. Once here, workers are trapped. To keep their visa, they quietly pay cash back to the sponsor or “training fees” to keep a fake paycheck moving. The firm takes a cut off both ends. Staffing will proceed to source specific personnel from specific areas ensuring no one comes forward to the authorities.
• Fake billing. American clients get billed through layers of vendors. Each layer siphons off more money. What looks like IT support is actually a skimmed contract padded for kickbacks.
• Money laundering. The profits get cleaned through shell companies and shipped offshore. It looks like “consulting” or “marketing,” but it’s really kickbacks being washed into tax havens.
And here’s the part they never tell you: lobbyists are paid millions to keep this pipeline open. They wine and dine Congress to make sure federal and state contracts funnel back to the same H-1B-heavy body shops. Taxpayer money and corporate budgets alike are drained to feed a system that costs more than it saves.
This isn’t “immigration policy.” It’s organized wage suppression and white-collar racketeering with political protection. The worker gets trapped. The American gets locked out. The middleman gets rich.
America First means cutting off the kickback pipeline. No more fake jobs. No more shell vendors. No more lobbyists buying laws that keep the scam alive.
Our High Trust society had made it so that people were confused at to what was happening.
No more, we see it, we know it.
Share this so people understand: the H-1B system isn’t just broken, it’s corrupt by design.
