Fox News: Demand to end 'scam' visa program replacing American workers surges, West Virginia congressman reveals

July 15, 2026

A West Virginia congressman is fed up with popular work visas, and revealed to Fox News Digital a behind-the-scenes surge of Republican lawmakers who also support abolition of the foreign worker program.

"I think the H-1B visa program is a scam, and it's one that has been perpetrated on the American worker for far too long," Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., said in an interview.

"Essentially, we shipped all our manufacturing jobs overseas and people were told to 'learn how to code,'" he continued. "Well, now they're being replaced with the H-1B visa workers on the coding jobs as well. So when is the American worker actually going to get a win here?"
