I’m outraged that authorities seized 100k+ fake degrees from India-linked “universities,” sold for as little as $1,400. The claims say fraudulent credentials drive H-1B visa fraud, displacing U.S. workers, undermining merit, and risking safety and security. I’m calling for DHS audits, pausing suspect cases, third-party verification, and revoking fraud cases, and urging Congress to hold hearings.

Authorities busted a massive fake-degree racket: 100k+ counterfeit certificates seized from 28 “universities” in India. One mill sold 36k fakes for as little as $1,400 each. This would violate 18 USC 1546(a). It's time to prosecute those who broke the law. 🧵 https://t.co/hb7I2FunHi

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

India takes ~70% of H-1B filings. H-1B requires a real specialty degree. Fake the credential = fraudulent visa from day one. It's alleged that up to 90% of those Indian visas are fraudulent. American workers are displaced by paper mills instead of proven talent. https://t.co/1uw4ipoWDv

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

This isn't surprising. Manav Bharti University sold ~36,000 bogus degrees while issuing far fewer real ones. Biden's USCIS admits: It didn't track how many H-1Bs went to “graduates” of this mill. No systematic verification for many foreign credentials. Unacceptable. https://t.co/IGYrt1fa6O

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

These fakes cross borders. Unverified credentials in critical U.S. jobs create massive safety risks, to patients, our infrastructure, our national security. All while laid-off American workers train replacements. Enough.

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

This is an international crisis, not just here but throughout the West. And India's response is to tell us to speed up the process? https://t.co/4cEXlhfYb4 https://t.co/QLpWGTVm5d

🇮🇳🇺🇸 We hope that these H-1B delays and these disruptions will be addressed by the US. There are several Indians who have been stranded in India for an extended period of time. These have also caused a lot of hardships to their families. - Indian Ministry of External Affairs

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

Patterns are clear: body shops, fake experience letters, high approvals despite red flags. Look at this one office in Irvine, CA. Just because the H-1B program is "legal" immigration, doesn't mean its good for Americans. https://t.co/UK1uRCM3Pg

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

The H-1B Program rewards this nefarious behavior. Fraud and abuse are rampant. Indian "Universities" are displacing American workers. But the problem is worse than you can imagine...

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

Big Tech contractors have exposed Indian visa holders sharing confidential interview questions with applicants from India. Big Tech quietly locks out Americans by routing jobs through these pipelines. Merit is now replaced by fraudulent degrees and ethnic favoritism. https://t.co/1Sm05eTzyT

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

We're seeing this play out in real time. An American professor just sued SMU, alleging the department chair systematically favored Indian-origin candidates for tenure. 100% approval for them, zero for equally qualified non-Indians. https://t.co/GctTSHJ66w

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

The abuse, the favoritism, the fraudulent credentials shows why we need action now, not more loopholes. Immediate steps we must take: • DHS audit of approvals tied to these mills • Pause suspect cases • Third-party verification • Revoke fraud cases

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

Protect our workers, restore merit, secure the system. This may just be the tip of the iceberg. Should Congress hold H-1B fraud hearings?

I argue that the radicals of the 1960s failed to overthrow from outside, so they captured America from within. The Left’s long march through the institutions defined the last 50 years, and the Right must take them back. The era’s violence was more deadly than often remembered, with Weather Underground alumni now in influential roles, and left-wing extremism normalized in elites. It’s time to undo the 1960s revolutions and reclaim our streets, culture, and country.

The radicals of the 1960s failed to overthrow America by force — so they set out to capture it from within. The Left's long march through the institutions was the defining political project of the last 50 years. Now, the Right must take those institutions back for America. 🧵

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

In one 18-month period between 1971-72, there were 2,500 domestic bombings on U.S. soil—a stunning rate of nearly five per day. For many Americans, that fact is shocking. In today’s popular imagination, the politics of the 60s and 70s were Woodstock, peace signs, and hippies.

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

But that wasn't the feeling among most Americans who were actually alive during that era. In 1968, amid urban riots and increasingly violent campus unrest, a Gallup poll found that a whopping four out of five Americans believed that law and order had broken down in the U.S.

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

The truth is, the left-wing radicalism of the 60s and 70s was far more violent—and deadlier—than the modern narrative suggests. It’s been whitewashed today, in large part because the radicals themselves conquered the mainstream liberal institutions that shape our popular memory.

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

As I detail in my @FoxNews op-ed today, the ringleaders of violent left-wing terrorist groups like the Weather Underground "went on to work at white-shoe law firms, major nonprofits and Ivy League universities." They even launched the political career of a future U.S. president.

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

The left-wing radicals lost the street war, but their worldview won the far bigger war for America’s elite institutions. The New Left of the 1960s didn't disappear into obscurity. Instead, it took over the nation’s systems of education, law, philanthropy, media and mass culture.

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

Today, the progeny of groups like the Weather Underground can be seen on the streets of cities like Portland and Chicago, throwing Molotov cocktails at cops and federal agents. (Often with the backing of the very institutions their predecessors conquered.)

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

For decades, left-wing extremism has been normalized and celebrated across our elite institutions. Now, America is at a tipping point. We've endured years of left-wing riots, attacks, bombings and a series of assassination attempts that culminated in the murder of Charlie Kirk.

@SenEricSchmitt - Senator Eric Schmitt

But it’s not 1970 anymore. In fact, it’s not even 2020. It is time for the Right to undo the revolutions of the 1960s. It's time to take back our streets, take back our culture, and take back our country.
