A former T-Mobile employee and self-proclaimed whistleblower has claimed that America is being torn apart from within, calling H-1B visas and the so-called “Indian takeover” only a small part of a much larger problem.Marc Palasciano, who worked at T-Mobile for 17 years in the Dallas area, said he walked away from a $200,000-a-year career to expose corporate wrongdoing, including mass layoffs. “I’m a 42-year-old lifelong Texan who walked away from my $200,000 career, so I could expose how corporations are destroying America from within,” he said in a video posted on his X account.Palasciano has publicly criticised T-Mobile for conducting layoffs across multiple locations, including customer care centres: “T-Mobile is laying off people in the customer care centers, they’re laying people off in their headquarters in here in Frisco, Texas.

They’re laying people off at the headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, they’re laying people off at their office in Overland Park, Kansas. They are just laying people off through all these departments, and T-Mobile is being protected from being exposed." The whistleblower also said he faced personal consequences while speaking out. “I’ve walked away from a lot of money and turned down a lot of money to speak up. Over the last two years, I’ve been censored into barely existing, I’m shadow banned, I haven’t made any money,” Palasciano said. He added that he has a GoFundMe campaign to try to recover the severance he refused in order to retain his free speech rights.Palasciano further claimed that his actions have led to legal consequences. “Texas, the state of Texas even prosecuted me and put me in jail. They said I weaponized the First Amendment. Granted, I got myself into this situation by texting somebody I shouldn't have texted. But after that, the state of Texas completely lied on the behalf of T-Mobile to prosecute me,” he said.While H-1B visas and the employment of Indian workers in technology roles have attracted attention, Palasciano insists this is only a fraction of the wider issues. “I’m going viral for my blowing the whistle on H1B and the Indian takeover. But that’s not even the most important part about my whistleblowing. That’s actually the least important part,” he said.Previously, Palasciano said at a San Francisco council meeting that he would speak about the “Indian takeover in Frisco and H-1B fraud.” He compared it with the alleged Somali fraud in Minnesota. He alleged that the mayor was receiving donation money from Indian donors who were not even living in the US,
