It’s Not JUST H-1B Visas. They’re Scamming THIS Visa Too | 3/31/26

Sara Gonzales exposes a widespread abuse of the H-4 visa program, revealing how H-1B visa holders like Naveen Tumala fraudulently use their dependent spouses' work permits to run businesses—such as food trucks—while remaining in violation of immigration rules. Despite being on an H-1B visa restricted to one employer, Tumala is shown working daily at the business he claims his wife owns, even signing permits and accessing company accounts. Gonzales highlights the hypocrisy of claiming innocence while violating the system, and notes that the H-4 employment authorization was expanded under Obama, enabling this loophole. She connects this scam to a larger pattern of H-1B abuse, including a $22 million fraud case in Los Angeles involving an IT worker and a vendor who funneled contracts through a Texas-based tech company that sponsors numerous H-1B visas. The episode also critiques political inaction, particularly Lindsey Graham’s vacation to Disney World while Congress fails to pass key legislation, and exposes the controversial private life of Kristi Noem’s husband. In contrast, Gonzales celebrates a major Trump-era policy: the Department of Labor’s proposed rule to democratize 401(k) investments by allowing access to alternative assets like private equity, which could significantly boost retirement returns for average Americans. She interviews former Congressman Jeb Hensarling, who praises the move as a victory for financial freedom and a rejection of elitist control over retirement savings.
