September 30, 2009 Grassley Demands Action from DHS on H-1B Abuse Computerworld reports that Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) "wants IT consulting companies that hire H-1B workers at third party client sites to prove that there is work waiting for them." Grassley prodded the agency into action last year after a report found that at least one in five H-1B visa applications had some type of fraud or violation. "Employers need to be held accountable so that foreign workers are not flooding the market, depressing wages, and taking jobs from qualified Americans," Grassley said in a letter to the agency.

The new emphasis on all employers has support, as Rep. Brian Bilbray noted, "They [employers] seem to think that somehow the law doesn't matter, that crossing the line from legal to illegal is not a big deal."
