A growing number of Americans are asking why qualified U.S. workers are being sidelined while corporations continue to import foreign labor. In response, WND has launched the America First Immigration Team, a dedicated unit of investigators, researchers and writers committed to exposing the full scope of what's become known as the Immigration Industrial Complex, the network of corporations, law firms, universities and foreign governments that profit from America's immigration and labor systems.
Our team will publish a series of investigative reports and special features to shed light on the policies, programs and players that have transformed America's work visa system from a tool of last resort into a pipeline for replacing U.S. labor.
What we'll expose and report on:
1. Employment visa pipelines that bypass American talent
● We'll document how programs like H-1B, L-1, OPT, STEM OPT, and PERM are used not to fill labor shortages but to staff entire departments with temporary foreign workers. Many of these roles were previously held by Americans.
2. Corporate job postings engineered to exclude U.S. workers
● Our investigations will reveal how job advertisements are structured to meet legal minimums while ensuring U.S. applicants are filtered out. We'll show how this tactic supports green-card approvals while denying Americans fair consideration.
3. Universities partnering with foreign education firms to build visa funnels
● We'll expose U.S. universities that enter into contracts with foreign-based companies to import student workers and create direct hiring pipelines many under the guise of "innovation," "diversity," or "global partnerships."
4. Immigration law firms coaching employers to avoid hiring Americans
● Our reports will examine how some firms develop recruitment strategies specifically designed to navigate around U.S. labor protections, helping employers meet legal thresholds while excluding domestic candidates.
5. The role of foreign governments and lobbying groups in shaping U.S. labor policy
● We will highlight how foreign entities use soft power, lobbying, and economic agreements to influence U.S. immigration and employment systems, often in coordination with multinational corporations.
6. Offshoring schemes tied to visa programs
● Our team will map how visa-dependent roles serve as stepping stones to offshoring entire departments or operations driving American jobs overseas permanently under the label of "cost efficiency."
7. Discrimination against U.S. citizens in hiring practices
● We'll bring forward documented cases where Americans are either not contacted, overlooked, or excluded from consideration due to visa-based hiring preferences or contractual foreign labor commitments.
8. How immigration abuse suppresses wages and erodes labor standards
● Our data-driven and evidence based reporting will analyze how the influx of foreign workers affects wage levels, job availability, and bargaining power across key sectors including technology, healthcare, finance, and academia.
9. The misuse of nonprofit status and tax incentives to support foreign labor programs
● We'll investigate nonprofits, universities, and industry associations that benefit from taxpayer support while operating programs that prioritize foreign talent over domestic workforce development.
10. The human cost stories of displaced American workers
● Alongside our investigations, we'll amplify voices of American workers who have been replaced, sidelined, or forced out of the workforce due to unchecked immigration pipelines and global labor practices.
11. The data they don't want you to see
● We'll provide tools and transparency to access immigration filings, Department of Labor disclosures, and university agreements resources often buried from public view but essential to understanding the full picture.
12. Legal gaps and regulatory failures enabling the crisis
● We will outline the agencies involved (USCIS, DOL, DHS, ICE, DOJ, SBA, DOE), the laws in play (INA, Title VII, FDUTPA, RICO), and the accountability failures that allow these abuses to continue unchecked.
The America First Immigration Team is just getting started.
If you believe in America, if you believe that Americans should be prioritized by our government, our laws, and our jobs, then this fight is yours too. The American Dream should belong to Americans, not the world. For too long, our leaders have sacrificed American opportunity on the altar of globalism and cheap labor schemes.
We invite you to follow our reporting, share the facts and hold power to account. The more Americans who wake up and demand change, the harder it will be for the political class and corporate interests to keep selling us out.
Stay tuned to WND for upcoming releases, whistleblower reports, legal filings and exposure campaigns designed to restore balance to America's labor system.
This isn't about closing the door to talent. It's about finally opening the door for American workers, American families and the next generation who deserve a future in their own country.
