Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton credited BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on Wednesday with getting the ball rolling on a new and "wide-sweeping investigation into abuse of the H-1B visa program by Texas businesses."
Although the Texas Attorney General's Office is currently looking at three businesses in North Texas, Paxton indicated that is the start of a much larger investigation.

Citizenship and Immigration Services' H-1B Employer Data Hub indicates that over 41,500 H-1B visa beneficiaries were approved for fiscal year 2025 in Texas.
Qubitz Tech Systems, one of the companies Gonzales scrutinized in her report, had 12 H-1B beneficiaries approved last year.
