Well, folks, just when you thought the immigration debate couldn’t get any spicier, another nightmare program takes center stage. Forget the drama around H-1B visas or student visa scams—turns out there’s an even bigger culprit lurking in the shadows. Meet OPT, the granddaddy of them all, and trust me, every American needs to know how this scam operates.

Here at Revolver, we’ve been tackling the immigration issue from every possible angle. Recently, we uncovered how the student visa program operates as a massive, rigged scam—one that not only funnels money into “woke” universities but also steals job opportunities from hardworking Americans. And now, with OPT entering the spotlight, the stakes have skyrocketed even further.

Revolver:

    While the right has been laser-focused on the H-1B visa disaster—thanks to an online clash between MAGA, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy—another, maybe more insidious issue has been festering right under our noses: the widespread exploitation of student visas.

    Each year, the US issues about half a million student visas, creating a tsunami of cash for progressive, Marxist universities that brainwash young people with twisted woke ideologies.

    The truth is, many of these woke Marxist institutions would struggle to keep their doors open without this steady flow of mediocre foreign students.

    In other words, the foreign student visa program is funding our nation’s demise.

    […]

    The F-1 student visa program, intended for education, has morphed into a system that actively hurts American college grads. Some shady schools exploit the system by offering minimal or no real education, letting foreign students qualify for the government’s Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. OPT allows these students to work full-time jobs under the guise of being “students,” giving employers massive tax breaks—up to $12,000 per worker—for hiring them over equally or more qualified Americans. See how this works? It’s all tied together.

    And this cycle creates an unfair advantage for foreign grads, costs Social Security and Medicare well over a billion dollars each year, and also serves as a backdoor pipeline to H-1B visas, leaving American grads at the bottom of the priority list.

Now it’s time to dig into one of the most sinister programs out there: OPT. Brace yourselves, because this is where things get seriously anti-American—and downright ugly.

    You thought the H-1B visa was bad? Wait until you hear about the largest guest worker program killing jobs for new American college grads—the Optional Practical Training (OPT):

    • No caps
    • Employers get payroll tax exemptions
    • No wage requirements

    OPT was originally a 1-year work permit for international students graduating from U.S. colleges to gain U.S. work experience to take back to their home countries. It was never meant as a permanent immigration pathway, but rather a short-term opportunity for skill development.

What began as a “short-term” program has morphed into a full-blown weapon against American jobs—just the way the globalists (looking at you, Bill Gates) planned it.
