Saving enough money to pay $100,000 for H-1B visa: Texas whistleblower says legal immigration equally concerning

Texas journalist Sara Gonzales who ‘exposed’ the H-1B ‘scam’ in Texas visiting H-1B employers in the state said the $100,000 fee is not going to act as a deterrent as the corporations have saved enough money by paying these employees lesser wages that they can easily spend the fee to hire H-1Bs. The new fee came into effect September 21, 2025. The registration for the H-1B cap for the fiscal year 2027 will open on March 4. All employees registering will have to keep in mind that they will have to pay $100,000 for every selected H-1B candidate.

It is too little, Gonzales said, adding that while everyone is concerned about illegal immigration, what legal immigration is doing is unprecedented and is destroying America.
