Representative McCormick calls for Trump administration investigation into H-1B visa fraud
What happened
Rich McCormick wrote to the Trump administration regarding his district in Georgia, stating that it has become a suspected hotspot for H-1B visa fraud. McCormick requested that the administration investigate the issue, noting that the fraud interferes with the labor market by undercutting wages and increasing job competition for American jobseekers, particularly recent college graduates. The H-1B program was established to allow American businesses to temporarily bring in foreign citizens for high-skill positions when the domestic workforce cannot provide the necessary labor.

Why it matters
The allegations detail how bad actors exploit the H-1B program to obtain labor at below-market-rate wages and under abusive conditions. This trend, according to the report, negatively affects the labor market by increasing job competition and suppressing wages for American workers.
McCormick discussed the economy with Stuart Varney, while Donald Trump started a war with Iran and Pennsylvania saw investment growth.
