Another exposé from Sara Gonzales has now led to a criminal investigation, this time related to a day care business that has sponsored a suspicious number of H-1B visas.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton directly cited the Gonzales report in a press release announcing the lawsuit against Golden Qi Holdings LLC and Yuan Yao, a citizen of the People's Republic of China.
Then he drove off in his metallic rose gold BMW.
The report found evidence that Golden and other businesses are being falsely promoted as legitimate enterprises in order to apply for H-1B visas and sell them to Chinese nationals.
Gonzales visited the business known as the Allen Infant Care Center and found no evidence of children and instead found overgrown weeds. When she spoke to an individual familiar with the property, she claimed to Gonzales that Yao "sells visas" and that the business had not operated as a day care for an extended period of time.
The woman, whose identity was protected, claimed to Gonzales that Yao was selling visas for large amounts of money and then receiving labor from the applicants for "next to nothing" in exchange.
"None of these people come from poor homes. These are people who can pay him 20 grand for their visa," the woman said in the report.
"That arrangement is made in China."
Gonzales even confronted Yao, who appeared to claim through broken English that he was in the process of reopening the day care and that he had done nothing wrong. He also told Gonzales that he would call the police if she didn't leave the business.
And then he drove off in his metallic rose gold BMW.
She went on to document how the company had apparently taken out two PPP loans in the amounts of $51,000 and $54,000, and both were forgiven. Gonzales also questioned how they had an autism behavioral center that did not seem at all operational.
"The thing that is so curious about this [case] when you go digging in the data and the [Labor Condition Applications] is that you wouldn't think that a day care center would need, you know, 'market research analysts' or 'supply chain analysts,'" Gonzales said.
"And yet, this company actually told the United States government that they needed foreign workers to fill those jobs," she claimed.
Paxton added in a statement that his office was working to prevent any foreign national from illegally entering into the U.S.
"Let this be a warning to anyone considering trying to scam the H-1B visa program," he wrote. "I will continue fighting to ensure that the H-1B program serves the interests of Americans, not Chinese nationals, and that those who abuse the program are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."
"My office will continue to work to stop any foreign national from entering this country unlawfully," he added.
Gonzales thanked Paxton for taking action on her report.
