Summary
Rich McCormick asked the Trump administration on Tuesday to investigate alleged H-1B visa abuse in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District, calling it a suspected fraud hotspot in metro Atlanta.
In a letter, the Georgia Republican said bad actors exploit the program to secure below-market labor and abusive working conditions, undercutting wages and increasing competition for U.S. workers, especially recent graduates.
McCormick said his concerns stem from constituent reports, stakeholder outreach and recent federal enforcement activity around GA-07, though he did not identify specific companies or individuals.
The request builds on a Trump administration investigation launched in July and lands amid a broader Republican split over H-1B visas, with JD Vance pushing to scrap the program while Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy defend it as vital for high-skill talent.
