This is great news. Investigate US corporations who have been looting and cheating the government and the country and enriching themselves illegally.
If fraud is conclusively found, I want the CEO and the rest of the C suite to be jailed for a minimum of 10 years. Fine is good, but I want imprisonment of the people responsible.
Now this all sounds good, but I will be really happy when I see actual results of this exercise. Too many of these are just smoke and mirror stunts.
If you suspect H1B fraud, report the company.

FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Labor revealed it has launched at least 175 ongoing investigations targeting potential abuses within the H-1B visa program as part of its mission to protect American jobs and ensure only necessary foreign workers are employed in the U.S.
The DOL launched Project Firewall in September to ensure that employers prioritize qualified Americans for job positions and do not abuse the H1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
The aggressive federal crackdown on potential abuse of the program includes Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer personally certifying the initiation of investigations which is a mechanism that the department has never used before, Fox Digital learned.
"The Labor Department is using every resource currently at our disposal to put a stop to H-1B visa abuse, and for the first time, I am personally certifying investigations into suspected violations to better protect American jobs," Chavez-DeRemer told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"Under the leadership of President Trump, we will continue to invest in our workforce, ensuring high-skilled job opportunities go to American workers first."
The DOL's September announcement was launched the same day President Donald Trump signed a proclamation that imposed a $100,000 one-time fee on H-1B visa petitions. The White House previously told Fox News Digital that the fee works to prevent "companies from spamming the system and driving down wages" with cheap foreign labor, while simultaneously promoting "American businesses who actually want to bring high-skilled workers" to the U.S.
The Department of Labor could not provide details on the specifics of the 175 current investigations, which account for over $15 million in calculated back wages to workers, but reported to Fox Digital that it has uncovered a bounty of concerns.
The investigations have uncovered that some foreign workers with advanced degrees are paid far less than what's promoted in a job description, which the DOL said drives down wages for visa-holders and American workers alike, while also forcing American employees with the same qualification to accept lower wages in order to stay competitive.
Other investigations found that employers did not even notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services when an H-1B visa holder was terminated, or found significant lag times between a termination and an employer notifying the agency that oversees the U.S.'s immigration system.
