Last month, Blaze TV host Sarah Gonzalez kicked off an investigation because she suspected some companies sponsoring workers through Texas’ H-1B visa program weren’t quite on the level.
Delving into public records from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, she actually went to the listed addresses of several of these companies. What she found was telling: many were just ordinary single-family homes, showing no signs of business activity or any employees around.
In her report, Governor Greg Abbott urged state agencies and universities to halt new H-1B visa applications to focus on employment for Texans. Additionally, Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated a thorough investigation into three companies in North Texas due to potential dishonest practices and visa misuse.
But now, according to a recent article in the New York Times, titled “How the debate over foreign worker visas fuels racism against South Asians,” the wider conversation around H-1B visas—including Sarah’s investigation into possible fraud in Texas—is being portrayed as exacerbating racism against South Asians, especially Indians, who make up a significant number of H-1B visa holders.
As Amy Chin wrote, tensions have risen in Frisco, with some conservative content creators sharing notable videos suggesting potential H-1B fraud in the region, directly referencing Sarah’s findings.
In an episode of “Sarah Gonzalez Unfiltered,” Sarah reacted to what she sees as a “hit piece” from the New York Times.
“If the New York Times wants to criticize me, they could at least have the courtesy to mention my name,” she remarked.
She adds, “They avoid naming me because they probably fear that if people connect me to this report, they might actually start believing it.”
Despite everything, Sarah feels optimistic: “To have the New York Times notice your work means you’re onto something important. If they acknowledge that I did something worthwhile, they must be a bit worried. They don’t want the truth to come out.”
She believes the New York Times isn’t genuinely interested in uncovering the truth, stating, “They’re more focused on making this a racial issue to divert attention from the actual problems.”
