"High Rate of H-1B Visa Fraud
A study finds that 13% of the visa petitions for U.S. employers to bring in skilled foreign workers are fraudulent "

Wow! 13% is actually pretty bad.

Who figured this out?

"A report released Oct. 8 by the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) reveals that 13% of petitions filed for H-1B visas on behalf of employers are fraudulent. Another 7% contain some sort of technical violations. "

Oh. Ummm.. it was the people responsible for reviewing and approving the petitions, and enforcing the standards of the program.

Hmm.

And they know they were fraudulent.

Hmm...

Do you suppose that means they're monitoring this stuff and doing things about it??? Nah. They just go around uncovering fraud then saying "Ok, we caught ya! Now carry on." That must be it, right?

Therefore, the only possible way to deal with this is to screw the other 87% of the program who are playing by the rules by shutting it down.
