Alex Jones said the H-1B visa system is being “run by a mafia” and claimed that most workers on the program come from a single region of India. The radio commentator made the remarks in a video released during the ongoing debate over foreign work visas in the United States.
Jones said seven in 10 H-1B visas originate from one Indian region and argued that this concentration amounts to organized control of the system. He said he does not “hate Indians” and called them smart and rule-abiding, but described what he sees as an overwhelming Indian presence in U.S. workplaces.
He said that in the past four years he has watched “Indians take over all job sectors” and claimed he sees them “everywhere,” including restaurants. Jones said he believes Indians now hold most of the jobs in the country, adding that even the customers in many restaurants are Indian.

Jones broke up his comments by repeating that he does not “hate Indians.” He said Indians “milk it all,” then argued that their “mindset is not compatible with American culture.” He referred to a recent viral video involving a cow dung festival in India as an example.
His remarks came as the broader H-1B dispute intensified after President Donald Trump said his administration would not “act very hard” on the visa category because the United States needs certain skilled foreign workers. Trump cited battery workers from Korea and chip workers from Taiwan when explaining why the visas remain necessary.
Because India provides the largest share of H-1B recipients, the backlash has centered on Indian workers. Jones said “Indians hire Indians,” which he argued is why Silicon Valley has so many Indian employees. He claimed the workers belong to “one tribe and one region,” leaving, in his view, other Indian regions without access to the program.
Jones also alleged that the same group that dominates H-1B numbers has the “highest” rate of dowry-related violence. He compared what he called an Indian “takeover” of jobs to a military occupation and said he sees Indians in airports “with wheelchairs, bending rules and taking advantages.”
The commentator did not offer data to support his claims, which circulated widely online as debate over U.S. work visas continued.
