The Republican Party of Texas chairman, Abraham George, has called for stronger action against the H-1B visa program, claiming it enables fraud and displaces American workers.
George took to X and shared a post by Andy Hopper, a representative for Texas House District 64, which read,
“The H-1B visa has been a disaster for America.”

In a post on X, George agreed with Hopper, claiming that the “H-1B visas are full of fraud,” and urging that the elimination of the program is a “legislative priority” for the Texas GOP.
“H-1B visas are full of fraud and displacing American workers. It has to stop. We must make it a legislative priority of the Texas GOP to rid our state of H-1Bs and put Texans first. #AmericaFirst,” wrote George.

George, who was born in Kerala, India, and moved to the United States at age 16, has served as chairman of the Texas GOP since 2024.
The H-1B visa program allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers, particularly in sectors such as technology, engineering and healthcare.
The program has long been debated in U.S. politics, with critics claiming it undercuts American wages, while supporters say it helps address skill shortages in key industries.
George’s comments come amid ongoing debates in several U.S. states over immigration and foreign worker programs, especially with Texas witnessing growing discourse on this subject in recent months.
