Re: Weighted Selection Process for Registrants and Petitioners Seeking to File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions, CIS No. 2820-25; DHS Docket No. USCIS-2025-0040 ([link removed])
Submitted to the Office of Policy and Strategy, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
By Elizabeth Jacobs, October 24, 2025
Excerpt: In addition to structural flaws, the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program has been plagued with fraud and abuse since its inception. Numerous reports indicate unacceptably high rates of employers underpaying H-1B workers, companies forcing their U.S. workers to train their H-1B replacements as a condition of receiving severance and unemployment insurance, for-profit companies colluding with universities and other cap-exempt entities to cheat the system and obtain workers without participating in the H-1B lottery.

DHS Flashback: More Illegal Alien Cops ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The legislative branch has “plenary power” over immigration, and can thus impose restrictions on aliens that would be impermissible for it to apply to citizens (and in some instances green card holders). Does Congress want aliens here in temporary status, or with no status, to be vested with authority to enforce local, state, and federal laws and to carry firearms in the course of such service?
