The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday announced its identification of more than 10,000 foreign students who allegedly work for dubious employers as part of its crackdown on visa work programs.
“This is only the tip of the iceberg. Over the past year, we’ve dramatically expanded our oversight of OPT,” a DHS spokesman said. “Many of these employers include NGOS engaged in suspicious activities. We’ve discovered empty buildings and locked doors at addresses where hundreds of foreign students are allegedly employed.”
The Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, is a work authorization for students on visas. The program, along with the H-1B visa, has drawn intense scrutiny from immigration hawks, who have long contended that it is ridden with fraud.
“We’ve found small residential addresses listed as work sites for hundreds of foreign students, yet no employees were present,” the spokesman added. “We’re also seeing financial red flags.”
Vice President JD Vance celebrated the announcement, calling it “[a]nother great win for our fraud task force.”
“We will not tolerate foreign nationals abusing our visa system at the expense of the American people,” he added.

Let’s get all the fraud out of the USA and watch our nation thrive!
this wouldn’t have anything to do with ccp chinese spies or muslim terrorists would it????
sad that NO attention has been paid to all the free give aways to
foreign people. Seems they are here to collect all the free $$$
they can—-no love for this once great nation or the ones that gave
and have given their lives for us to keep a great Christian nation.
The number of foreigners who come into this country to be educated is disgusting. They are stealing our money and our technical knowledge. Do these questionable businesses get money for these students from we tax payers??? Seems the radical liberal Commies among us have been robbing us blind for years. I am so glad we now have people looking into all of the fraud and cannot wait to see these criminals in jail….for a long time!! No wonder they have so much money to spend on cheating in our elections.
Send them all back to China ASAP!
They aren’t there because they’re probably protesting somewhere.
Only 10,000?
I am positive there are waaaaaaaaay more than that…
I think that anyone with an ounce of common sense knows what these so-called students are here for and it’s not to benefit AMERICA.When will our government wake up and start refusing these people entry.
I just want to know if all the people signed up at these “work centers” are being deported? If not, why not? Are we getting th money back or even prosecuting the evil doers? Somehow I doubt it.
Doesn’t ANYONE follow up on these Applications? I am reading this more & more ( think MINNESOTA, Muslims stealing Millions!!). It seems that all the proof you need to have to receive billions is some liberal background & phony papers…then they pass out the Cash without any verification of the Authenticity of the group requesting it! I sincerely hope the VICE PRESIDENT is continuing his investigation and charges are brought! The Media is so aggravating when it doesn’t follow up on these fraud cases. You never hear what the end result was. I guess because it takes them Years to resolve it unless you’re John Q. Public, then you get shuffled off immediately!
Isn’t it great!! Now that we know all of this FRAUDULENT activity is and has taken place,don’t you think it is time to make some SUPRISE house calls on these people!?? Get evidence. Get identifications. Round up the purps and send them home ASAP!!!!! It seems to me that so many people are satisfied with law breaking. It also seems that the interlopers feel they have RIGHTS TO BE HERE!! WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! OUR CONSTITUTION HAS LAWS AND STATUTES TO GUIDE THE FOREIGN VISITOR! PAY ATTENTION! DO THINGS BY THE LAW! AND MAGA MAGA MAGA
America’s open door policy, that let’s any CROOK in the world just walk in and start stealing, needs to reform itself and start vetting anyone and everyone that wants to cross our borders now, thanks to voters and the politicians that we do not vet and just vote for so that our Conscious won’t bother us. NOT ONLY DO THE ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS NEED TO WAKE UP, THE AMERICAN VOTER NEEDS TO GET OFF THEIR REARENDS AND START DOING A BETTER JOB ON WHO THEY VOTE FOR.
