ECONOMIST AND FORMER U.S. Rep. Dave Brat alleged fraud in India’s H-1B visa system, claiming the Chennai consulate issued more than twice the legally permitted number of visas nationwide. He said on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast that while the national H-1B cap is 85,000, the Chennai consulate processed about 220,000 visas—2.5 times the limit.

Brat said the H-1B system was “captured by fraud,” asserting that visa allocations from India exceeded statutory limits, according to the Times of India.
