What Happened to All Those Turkish H-1Bs Hired by Gulen Charter Schools?
By David North on November 9, 2018
One of the less obvious problems with the H-1B program is its use by some charter high schools and, to a lesser extent, by some visa mills, to bring in substantial numbers of their fellow countrymen when the need for their services appears dubious.
What has happened to these H-1B workers? Are they still in status, doing the work they were hired to do? Or did they use their transient H-1B status to become illegal aliens, albeit white-collar ones?
For example, the charter schools associated with the conservative Islamic cult led by Fethullah Gulen, a self-exiled Turkish cleric now living in the Poconos, have filed hundreds of H-1B applications for teachers of Turkish. There is absolutely no demand for the teaching of Turkish at the high school level, so why should they be granted visas?
