Missouri Lieutenant Governor Launches H-1B Investigation Based on My Twitter Crusade
"It’s time for a statewide review of H-1B usage across all government entities!"
If you have been following me on X, you know that for the past few years I have been obsessively tweeting out discriminatory Canada Research Chair postings:
Many of these result in comments from billionaires like Elon Musk, Chamath, or Paul Graham:
Many, like my most recent one about Memorial University, result in international mainstream news coverage:
This has been a terrific way to go viral and farm engagement and outrage, but has been disheartening since nothing in Canada ever changes.
Canada is simply not going to abolish affirmative action. In fact, Affirmative Action is enshrined in Section 15(2) of the Canadian Constitution:
More recently, since immigrating to America — I have taken to referring to myself as a first-generation immigrant — I have switched to tweeting out H-1B job postings, e.g.:
After tweeting out dozens of these, my most recent one about Missouri University was finally picked up by the DOJ Civil Rights Division:
And then it was picked up by the Lt. Governor of Missouri, who said “I am going to check into this”:
Today, a spokesperson for Missouri University confirmed the school is “conducting a review of its H-1B program.” Wasinger said “he had spoken with the school’s president, Mun Choi, about the issue shortly after he posted on X.”
Wasinger also confirmed “he has spoken with the principal deputy assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, about potential investigations into visa fraud in the state.”
My sources tell me that the Missouri legislature is now looking at introducing legislation prohibiting H-1Bs from being hired by any government entity, including State universities. This legislation is hinted at in a tweet tonight by the Missouri GOP:
Let this be a tale of autistic determination and the power of citizen journalism.
We are seeing a real-time shift where social media exposure is no longer just about farming clicks; it is becoming a mechanism for oversight. For years, universities have hidden behind bureaucratic language, HR euphemisms, and a compliant media class that treats every discriminatory hiring scheme as morally self-evident. But the internet has changed the incentive structure. A job posting that once would have disappeared into an institutional careers page can now be seen by millions of people, scrutinized by lawyers, amplified by lawmakers, and placed directly in front of federal investigators.

Well done. America is lucky to have you. Canada will enshrine the communist manifesto in their constitution just to virtue signal.
Nice work, Chris! About time someone looked into the many types of visa scams. Kudos.
