then I've got a problem with any group, and that includes this group.

Well, obviously, that's a federal program.

They control it.

However, we have discovered three companies in Texas that we think are basically running a scam.

It's not

They're not really helping people.

They're not really following the rules.

Of course, H-1B visas have many problems in and of themselves in that there are lots of Americans that could potentially be taking some of these jobs.

This program was designed for specialty jobs that we didn't have enough of America.

And if that were actually happening and these people were being better, I don't think people would have as much of a problem with this program.

But it's gotten out of control.

And certainly when you've got all these companies

that are lying to consumers and lying to people about what they can do for them, then now we've got a problem in the state of Texas that we can address, which is consumer fraud.

I think it's, you know, we have a history now of watching what's happened in Europe.

And again, I don't think Texans have trouble with people worshiping the way they want or having their own particular religion.

That's been fundamental to our Constitution or First Amendment rights.

It's when you start pushing a different set of laws than following our U.S.

Constitution or following our federal and state laws, and you have your own set of laws.

And certainly that's occurring in Europe, and it's occurring in certain parts of our country.

And I think when it's kind of flaring up here, people are worried that that's what's happening in Texas.
