Even when the government tries to act about the massive fraud and abuses on H-1B, our courts, just throw out evidence and help rig the game further. In Judge deals U.S. major setback in H-1B fraud case, Patrick Thibodeau at Computer World details the latest:

The government transferred those images to a computer expert who then extracted all the files matching the search criteria established by the federal agent in charge of gathering the evidence.

The judge said the search criteria used by the government was "over-inclusive" and not limited to the warrant. For instance, the computer expert was required to produce "all email files" and "Word (or Word type) documents opened/modified in the last year."

This is ridiculous. The warrant allowed digital images of hard drives, yet when they searched the contents, 20 hard drives, oops, the Judge throws out all of the damning evidence because I guess law enforcement wasn't supposed to search the hard drives they took the images of!

Vision Systems is sitting at a $4.9 million government case on H-1B fraud and this is what the judge does. So, the government finally acts on one of the most egregious cases of H-1B fraud and the judge doesn't seem to get what a digital image of a hard drive really is, or how much content is on one to piece out the evidence from.
