Desk Correspondent , Washington D.C - Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent former ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, has sparked controversy by flagging what she describes as a "serious H-1B visa fraud scam" in North Texas. Greene, who recently resigned from the U.S. Congress, shared a viral video from a social media influencer alleging that the region has been "completely overrun and overtaken by both Muslims and Indians." The video claims that a single Dallas-based immigration attorney was responsible for clearing over 700,000 H-1B applications in 2025 alone, suggesting that many of these applicants are linked to fraudulent businesses operating out of residential homes.

The influencer in the video specifically named a lawyer, alleging he approved hundreds of thousands of applicants by 2024 and nearly a million by 2025—claims that have not been independently corroborated by any major American media outlets or government agencies. The video also showcased a map purportedly showing areas with high H-1B concentrations and highlighted the rising number of mosques in the area as evidence of the region being "overtaken." Greene used the footage to reiterate her long-standing demand for the total elimination of the H-1B visa program, promoting her previously introduced bill, HR 6937, as the only solution to stop such "scams."

These allegations come at a time of heightened tension regarding U.S. immigration policy under the current Trump administration, which has recently introduced stricter rules, including a reported $100,000 entry fee for certain noncitizen workers. While Greene and the influencer allege that "fraudulent businesses" are receiving taxpayer-funded government grants, critics argue that such rhetoric targets legal immigrant communities without providing substantive evidence of widespread criminal activity. The amplification of these claims by a high-profile political figure has intensified the national debate over the economic impact and demographic shifts associated with high-skilled work visas in the United States.
