Walmart Exec Ousted in H-1B Scheme, Harmeet Dhillon Responds [WATCH]

A senior Walmart technology executive was terminated earlier this month after allegations surfaced that he had sold hundreds of jobs to a subcontractor in exchange for financial kickbacks, sparking renewed scrutiny of the H-1B visa system and its impact on American workers.

The controversy came to light after Walmart abruptly ended contracts for roughly 1,200 technology workers in August.

According to CTOL Digital Solutions, the contractors found themselves locked out of systems, badges deactivated, and projects suspended over the course of a weekend.

The sudden move followed an internal investigation that pointed to a Global Tech vice president at Walmart allegedly orchestrating a large-scale corruption scheme.

Sources familiar with the investigation said the executive received daily payments starting at $30,000 from contracting agencies seeking favorable access to Walmart’s technology operations.

The workers affected were reportedly hired through Caspex, a California-based subcontractor with extensive ties to India.

In a statement provided to Breitbart News, Walmart responded: “Acting with Integrity is a core Walmart value that we hold every associate to, in every interaction. Earlier this month, following an investigation, Walmart terminated one vendor and a small number of U.S.-based associates.”

Civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon called the reports “deeply concerning” in an August 25 post responding to demands that she look into the matter.

Days later, she urged Americans to report cases of improper H-1B hiring practices, though she did not weigh in directly on the corruption claims.

The case has amplified criticism of the H-1B visa program, which critics argue allows corporations to displace American graduates with lower-paid foreign workers, particularly in technology fields.

Tech workers posting on Blind.com, an industry forum, claimed Caspex had been “selling visas” to Indian candidates and that the Walmart vice president approved their hiring in exchange for bribes including land and property in India.

“Somebody is talking about 30k per day. 1200 people got affected by that,” one poster wrote.

Other reports suggest the scandal may have first come to light after Indian cricketeer Kapil Dev was brought to a Walmart event in June.

Dev had been placed on Caspex’s advisory board, raising questions inside Walmart leadership about the source of funds.

According to American Bazaar, the high-profile appearance triggered an internal probe that ultimately exposed the alleged scheme.

Analysts say the structure of layered subcontractors — with prime vendors passing work to secondary and tertiary firms — makes oversight difficult and creates an environment where abuse can flourish.

“When you have four or five layers between the client and the actual worker, each taking a cut, it becomes impossible to track where influence ends and legitimate business begins,” one industry expert told The Daily Dots Substack.

The controversy highlights broader issues facing the U.S. labor market.

Roughly 1.5 million foreign contract workers are employed in white-collar positions through H-1B visas and other work programs.

In 2024, the Biden administration authorized work permits for 400,000 foreign graduates of U.S. colleges and approved around 120,000 new H-1B workers.

Critics argue the influx displaces American graduates and undermines long-term innovation.

Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, said the kickback system has become normalized in many firms.

“For corporations that are not thinking long term, they’re being led down the road to mediocrity and diminishing market share, all of them,” Lynn noted.

President Donald Trump has emphasized a different path, signaling support for advanced automation over expanded migration.

“We’re going to need robots… to make our economy run because we do not have enough people,” Trump said in an August interview with Breitbart News.

“We don’t have enough people to do it. So we have to get efficient… it’s going to be robotically… It’s going to be big. Then, somebody is going to have to make the robots. The whole thing, it feeds on itself… we’re going to streamline things. We need efficiency.”

The Walmart case remains under investigation. For now, the company has moved to cut ties with Caspex and dismissed the executive accused of taking kickbacks.

However, the fallout continues to reverberate across the tech industry as critics point to the scandal as evidence of systemic corruption enabled by the H-1B visa pipeline.
