The Department of Justice is asking people to report illegal visa practices that could come at the expense of American workers.
Citizens are being urged to flag “discriminatory” advertisements for jobs, especially ones that state that the employer prefers people on a seasonal or H-1B visa.
“Are you an American citizen who has been harmed by inappropriate preferences for foreign workers, eg H1-B or other? Follow the link. It’s also a place to report human trafficking of immigrant workers, and Title VII employment discrimination,” Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the DOJ, posted to X Friday.

The DOJ is also allowing people to send in tips for possible human trafficking violations related to temporary visa programs.
H-1B visas were the subject of debate earlier this year, and many opponents argued they hinder American talent in key sectors like technology, whereas others believe they bolster the economy.
“The main function of the H-1B visa program and other guest worker initiatives is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, posted to X in January. “The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.”
