Back in January, BlazeTV's Sara Gonzales released a bombshell report on an investigation into H-1B scams in Texas.
On Tuesday, Gonzales released another video of her investigation into an alleged H-1B farm posing as a day care and autism center — despite appearing to be non-operational when she visited.
'If you are not leave, I will call the police!'
And her investigation took some unexpected turns after she stumbled upon a whistleblower who was able to blow the lid off the whole operation and confronted the owner outside the buildings.
Gonzales started the video outside Allen Infant Care Center, which used to be called Golden Acorn Academy, according to her investigation. The day cares, Gonzales explained, are owned by a holdings company called Golden Qi Holdings LLC, which is also allegedly affiliated with DFW ABA Center, reportedly an autism behavioral therapy center.

She showed that the complex was almost entirely empty and, notably, apparently devoid of children. The playground appeared to require maintenance and to be overtaken with tall grass and weeds.
Gonzales alleged that, on top of having an associated day care and autism center, they have sponsored "37 H-1Bs" and "they have filled out 55 Labor Condition Applications," citing USCIS data.
"The thing that is so curious about this [case] when you go digging in the data and the LCAs is that you wouldn't think that a day care center would need, you know, 'market research analysts' or 'supply chain analysts,'" Gonzales remarked.
"And yet, this company actually told the United States government that they needed foreign workers to fill those jobs," she further alleged.
While this investigation may have looked like it would take a normal course at the outset, Gonzales ran into a whistleblower at the premises who claimed to be familiar with the operation and who explained "just how bad this one gets."
The whistleblower alleged that the H-1B visa workers do not work on-site and that the immigration enforcement officials "know all about his H-1B visas," claiming that the owner has been investigated three or four times in the last three years.
She also alleged that the owner sells visas and then underpays the holders of those visas when they get to the United States. She described the company as a "foothold" in an immigration scheme.
Gonzales also confronted a man who appeared to be the owner of the companies she was investigating.
The man spoke with her in broken English, attempting to get her to simply talk to his lawyers on the phone instead. However, Gonzales kept pushing him to explain his alleged "pay-to-play" visa operation.
After some questioning, the man retreated to what Gonzales described as a "metallic rose gold BMW" with butterfly doors.
"Hey, is your dad a member of the CCP?" Gonzales asked as he slammed the door of his car.
The man drove down the road, turned around, then yelled out the window of his BMW, "If you are not leave, I will call the police!"
"I'll call the police on you for scamming my system!" Gonzales shouted after him as he sped away.
After the investigation on-site, Gonzales said that she and her team still have a lot of questions and will be referring their findings to USCIS and the Department of Labor.

The FCC just banned foreign-made routers — here's which ones might be stealing your data
Foreign-made electronics are posing increased threats to the consumer, especially as the technology becomes more widely available.
In fact, other electronics are seemingly becoming part of a network with built-in back doors that, at best, are a complex network dedicated to stealing user data for profit. At worst, they are a massive national security concern.
'Not just surveillance, but real-time analysis.'
In late March, the Federal Communications Commission announced it would begin following a federal directive that bans all foreign-made internet routers.
The executive branch determined that foreign routers "pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or the safety and security of United States persons," the FCC wrote.
The FCC added that foreign routers represent a "supply chain vulnerability" that could pose a "severe cybersecurity risk."
This was followed by an updated list of banned router manufacturers, which includes a plethora of Chinese companies, the U.S.-registered company ComNet (which is owned by a Chinese company), and the Russian-owned Kaspersky Lab.
What are they stealing?
Connecting to every device in a home, internet routers are "one of the most valuable targets for foreign hackers," says Aiden Buzzetti, president of the Bull Moose Project.
He told Return, "If an adversary can compromise the router, they can surveil your traffic, reach into your connected devices, or rope the whole thing into a botnet."
Tyler Saltsman, CEO and founder of Department of War-partnered EdgeRunner AI, explained that "even a subtle vulnerability in hardware or firmware can enable not just surveillance, but real-time analysis" of consumer data.
This allows for automated exploitation at scale that can quite literally give adversaries the ability to monitor patterns and trends about the U.S. population.
RELATED: The world cut the cord. Government won’t.
Buzzetti recently sat down with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who explained that the government found routers to be a sector that was particularly vulnerable to foreign cyber attacks.
As a priority, Carr said that the No. 1 thing the United States needs to make sure of is that it is eliminating dependence on electronics and technologies from foreign adversary nations.
How else are they spying?
The FCC took earlier action against foreign drones out of fears of foreign surveillance as well.
In December, the FCC noted a federal directive on banning foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems/drones, as well as those that use critical components produced in foreign countries.
"Drones was another one where there was a determination made that all foreign-produced drones present an unacceptable national security threat," Carr told the Bull Moose Project last week.
Another threat addressed by members of Congress recently has been the spying apparatus revealed through foreign robots.
Recent research showed that Chinese robot manufacturer Unitree Robotics had a pre-installed back door into its G01 robot dogs that allowed for the surveillance of customers around the world.
Axios reported on research that showed the spyware was public-facing, meaning anyone with the proper information could view customers' live camera feeds without login credentials.
Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), chair of the House China Select Committee, told Axios that there was a "direct national security threat" that was being actively investigated by the government on this topic.

These foreign entities could embed AI models in tech used by American consumers, Saltsman remarked in comments to Return. Adding that consumer products like routers, drones, and soon-to-be robots can therefore be morphed from "passive data conduits" into "active interpreters of sensitive information."
"This amplifies the value of any data they collect and the risk if they're compromised," Saltsman explained.
The federal government has allowed for an approval process for companies to apply to regarding the sale of drone systems or routers in the United States.
So far, the approved list consists of just five drone systems and two router companies. One drone company appears to be based in the U.K., while another is seemingly from Norway. The rest are American.

U.S., U.K. Lawmakers Finally Scrutinize China’s Use Of ‘Cultural Associations’ As Communist Fronts
Lawmakers in the U.S. and U.K. have taken steps to demand greater accountability from organizations suspected of advancing Beijing’s agenda.Video: Why is a Chinese robot chasing wild boars in Poland?
A popular Chinese robot is going viral for a video showing it chasing wild boars, but many aren't sure why that happened.
The robot itself, nicknamed Edward Warchocki, is a Unitree G1 model available for public purchase that popped up in Poland.
'Older ladies or gentlemen love talking with him.'
The Chinese-made robots go for a whopping $23,809 for the basic model, all the way up to $58,365 for the "ultimate edition."
Recently, this particular model was seen running through the streets of Warsaw, Poland, chasing wild boars. While hilarious, there is actual serious context behind the content.
Major Polish cities like Krakow have endured a sprawling wild boar issue — even in city centers — for years, resulting in authorities urging their population to resist feeding the somewhat approachable beasts.
Other cities have resorted to planting flowers with vivid colors and sweet scents in order to deter the pigs.
Since at least 2019, there have been warnings of disease allegedly spread by the animals, resulting in calls for culls and elimination of thousands of them that have reportedly carried illnesses like African swine fever and Hepatitis E.
Enter Edward the robot, who was recently seen shooing the animals away from downtown Warsaw.

As reported by Interesting Engineering, Edward is a Chinese humanoid that operates mostly on its own. It is not controlled remotely and is described as unscripted. Therefore it reacts dynamically to its surroundings and engages in adaptive dialogue in Polish using AI.
Edward is most popular with Polish Boomers, its owners say, as they are excited to interact with a robot for the first time.
Radosław Grzelaczyk and business partner Bartosz Idzik started in cryptocurrency, but they now try to create viral videos with their robo-friend.
"Personally, the sight of this robot chasing boars does not surprise me anymore," Grzelaczyk told TVP World.
"Older ladies or gentlemen love talking with him," Grzelaczyk added. "These people are always delighted that they lived to see times in which robots move through the streets."

In China, the robots have been shown to be capable of advanced feats. Last year, they competed in a half-marathon and were showcased in February performing kung-fu, gymnastics, and weapons work.
The focus during China's annual CCTV Spring Festival gala was innovation in multi-robot coordination and fault recovery, referring to a robot's ability to get up after tumbling down. China showed the robots in choreographed performances and dancing as well.
Definitive warning signs of spying from Chinese robot manufacturers exist too. Axios reported on two security researchers who reported on Unitree Robotics allegedly pre-installing a backdoor on its Go1 robot dogs that allowed for customer surveillance.
Other research warned about exploits that allowed for remote takeover of the humanoid bots, among other models.
Neither Edward nor his owners responded to Return's request for comment.

Reporter Steve Cortes’ new documentary, “China’s College Takeover,” takes on the influx of Chinese nationals infiltrating American colleges and universities — which BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales notes is yet another form of immigration that needs to be put under the microscope.
“The issue of immigration is something that, once you see the issue, once you see the real problems, you can’t unsee it. It’s peeling back the layers of an onion, and it just gets worse and worse and worse,” Gonzales says.
“We are kind of the laughingstock of the globe at this point. ... All of these other countries are just like, ‘Hey, hey, we’re just going to utilize and abuse their system, and we’re just going to take over,’” she adds.
“I’m sure there are times when some of the party bosses at the CCP’s buildings in Beijing just laugh to themselves. They cannot believe how willingly the United States will act as a victim, will volunteer for victimhood at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party,” Cortes agrees.
“And in this case, I think it’s absolutely outrageous that our most selective universities, our top flagship public schools across the United States are inundated with foreign students,” he says.
What Cortes finds “particularly awful” is the CCP “sending its princelings ... over here so that we can educate our enemies so that many of them can spy on us and commit espionage.”
“We know that’s happening. There have been charges and convictions already. And then take those skills that they learned at some of our top schools like University of Illinois and go back to Beijing so they can make our adversary more powerful, more wealthy, and better able to continue to take advantage of the United States,” Cortes says.
“So, I’m trying to expose this, as you are, and say, ‘Enough.’ Of course, illegal immigration is a scourge to this country, but even the way we’re tolerating legal migration, including the student issue, is just inexcusable, and I think it needs to be exposed,” he adds.
