The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a U.S. territory consisting of 15 islands in the western Pacific, is strategically positioned fewer than 2,000 miles from mainland China and merely 120 miles north of Guam.
This location along the Second Island Chain makes it an indispensable asset in U.S. Indo-Pacific defense strategies, supporting military expansions on Tinian and Saipan for logistics, air operations, and deterrence against adversarial powers. However, as detailed in federal audits, Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports, and investigations by agencies like DHS and FBI, the CNMI has been infiltrated by the "Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis"—a coordinated network of Chinese and Philippine labor brokers, investors, manpower agencies, and remittance systems that manipulate U.S. visa programs, federal grants, and subsidies to funnel taxpayer dollars overseas.
This axis not only marginalizes American citizens but also heightens national security risks through demographic shifts and foreign influence.
This 2025 expanded edition, informed by DHS, FBI, Treasury, DoD, and congressional insights—including policy briefs from Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK)—examines the axis's mechanisms, from CW-1 visa fraud to grant diversion.
Mullin's "Pro-America First Strategy for Indo-Pacific Security" advocates reclaiming CNMI from foreign labor dependency, visa abuse, and strategic influence, emphasizing enhanced oversight, biometric monitoring, and workforce development. Scott's oversight on birth tourism and fiscal accountability complements this, highlighting how axis fraud enables "anchor babies" that fraudsters now leverage to influence CNMI's geo-strategic future.
Desk audits confirm annual leakages of tens of millions to Beijing and Manila, transforming U.S. aid into foreign gains.
Across seven chapters, this report details the crisis and proposes an America First agenda to restore sovereignty, economic integrity, and security.
Chapter One: Building the Dependency Architecture
The 1976 Covenant, formalizing CNMI's union with the U.S., contained a foundational vulnerability in that it delegated immigration control to local authorities during the shift from UN Trust Territory status to full integration with the United States.
This "accommodation" for economic stability instead facilitated the Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis by enabling territorial elites, who were often aligned with foreign entities, to control labor imports in a manner that prioritized cheap foreign workers over the development of a local American workforce.
This power skewed the economy toward imported labor, sidelining mainland Americans and channeling federal resources into overseas networks, with locals benefiting from kickbacks, campaign funds, and business partnerships that perpetuated the cycle of dependency.
The garment sector's rise in the mid-1980s to 2000s illustrated this exploitation vividly, as investors from Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and China established factories that exploited "Made in USA" privileges, lower wages, and unrestricted Asian labor inflows.
By 1999, 30,000–40,000 workers—chiefly Chinese and Philippine—dominated 65% of the workforce, and these workers were subjected to debt bondage via recruitment fees, passport retention, and overcrowded housing that violated basic human rights standards.
Late 1990s Senate reports documented trafficking, substandard conditions, and wage suppression, yet the axis flourished, remitting over $150 million yearly while U.S. subsidies bolstered infrastructure and indirectly supported foreign-owned operations.
As global trade rules ended the boom, the axis transitioned to casinos, adapting its networks to new economic opportunities without dismantling the underlying structures of exploitation.
Imperial Pacific International (IPI), a Hong Kong company with Chinese affiliations, represents this evolution in full detail, as it secured an exclusive gaming license amid regulatory favoritism that allowed it to hire thousands through CW-1 visas sourced from Sino-Philippine agencies, while building facilities near DoD installations that raised serious concerns about potential intelligence vulnerabilities.
Opaque ownership structures in offshore havens like the Cayman Islands dodged CFIUS reviews, and casino cash flows invited laundering probes that highlighted the intersection of economic activity and national security risks.
Mullin's brief warns of espionage risks in DoD's Pacific Deterrence Initiative, where foreign labor proximity threatens intelligence security and could undermine U.S. military readiness in the region.
The 2008 Consolidated Natural Resources Act federalized immigration, launching CW-1 as a taper-off with 22,417 caps in 2010, but axis subversion—via falsified petitions and elite complicity—prolonged dependency and allowed foreign networks to maintain their grip on the labor market.
Foreign worker proportions have declined over time:
1998 (~35,000, 65%);
2003 (~22,000, 60%);
2010 (~12,000, 55%);
2014 (~11,500, 52%);
2017 (~13,600, 50%, casino peak);
2020 (~8,000, 41%);
2024 (~6,500, 38%), per GAO data that underscores progress but also persistent issues in sectors like hospitality.
Yet, sectors like hospitality remain reliant on foreign labor, as structural barriers such as fraudulent job postings and wage undercutting continue to exclude local hires.
Local elites actively engineered this through leniency, enforcement blocks, and grant routing to trusts that concentrated benefits among a small group. Indigenous Carolinians and Chuukese bear the brunt: high underemployment (often 15–20% uncounted), poor vocational training, and emigration erode communities, leaving behind a population that struggles to compete in an economy designed for foreign exploitation.
Scott's birth tourism hearings reveal axis exploitation of visa loopholes, with Chinese nationals using CNMI for U.S. citizenship births, peaking at 600 in 2018, straining local resources and advancing long-term influence through demographic changes.
The axis's Chinese and Filipino companies, such as those tied to Hong Ye and Tan Holdings, perpetuate this by flooding markets with low-wage labor, suppressing opportunities for locals and creating a vicious cycle where federal funds intended for development instead subsidize foreign remittances.
Historical data from Mullin's report shows workforce shifts from 35% U.S. workers in 2001 to 59% in 2020, but structural barriers persist, including false job postings and wage undercutting that prevent meaningful progress.
This dependency not only drains the economy but sets the stage for geo-strategic manipulation via demographic engineering, as foreign networks use visa fraud to embed families and influence policy decisions that could affect U.S. military interests in the Indo-Pacific.
Chapter Two: CW-1 as Fraud Engine
CW-1's structure—requiring I-129CW petitions to USCIS and ETA-9142C certifications to DOL—seeks to prioritize U.S. workers, but the Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis undermines it through pervasive falsification that allows employers to bypass protections and import labor under false pretenses.
Employers falsely attest to American recruitment with sham ads (unanswered contacts), exaggerated requirements (e.g., basic jobs demanding specialized certifications), brief periods that limit applicant responses, and biased disqualifications that ensure CW-1 approvals despite available local talent.
Wage scams misclassify positions or maintain shadow (*Overstayed CW-1 Illegal workers) payrolls via cash and deductions, enabling underpayment while appearing compliant on paper.
Axis agencies (Document Handling/Manpower/Visa processing Companies abound in the CNMI) impose fees fostering bondage, binding workers to abusive terms that violate labor standards and perpetuate exploitation.
Tan Holdings exemplifies this in construction and hospitality sectors, where it has been identified as a high-volume petitioner engaging in patterns of local exclusion; Hong Ye Group, with Chinese roots, operates near bases, flagging security concerns due to its proximity to sensitive military areas.
GAO notes 13,685 approvals in 2017 amid casino surges, many via fraud that involved manipulated documentation to justify foreign hires.
Mullin's brief details mid-2010s growth linked to foreign projects;
Scott highlights birth tourism ties, where axis networks enable overstays and use temporary visas as stepping stones to permanent status.
Fraud extends to unverified credentials from fake institutions and role mismatches that inflate foreign worker qualifications, making it appear as though no qualified Americans are available.
CW-1, meant to be temporary, endures due to lax enforcement and resource shortages that allow axis operators to exploit gaps in oversight.
Chinese and Filipino firms dominate this space, using CW-1 to secure long-term visas and rushed green cards, often through fabricated employment histories or family reunification claims tied to anchor babies born via birth tourism.
Reviews of all CNMI long-term visa approvals are essential, as many stem from CW-1 fraud, allowing fraudsters to embed permanently and expand their influence.
Investigations reveal patterns: overstays (estimated 1,700 in 2023), contract breaches, and identity swaps that evade detection and prolong illegal presence.
DHS must scrutinize petitions, wages, and credentials, targeting axis companies for audits to verify every claim and revoke approvals where falsification is found.
To prevent further abuse, enhanced training for adjudicators on detecting fraud indicators—such as inconsistent documentation or patterns from known manpower agencies—is crucial, ensuring that the program's intent to protect American workers is upheld.
Joint operations with FBI could uncover broader networks, linking visa fraud to money laundering and other crimes that threaten economic stability.
Chapter Three: Economic Devastation
Axis dependency causes persistent U.S. citizen unemployment, post-2008 spikes, suppressed wages, and remittance outflows that divert federal funds intended for local development.
U.S. aid subsidizes axis employers, leaking $30–65 million yearly to China/Philippines, tied to CW-1 approvals that correlate directly with economic displacement.
Indigenous underemployment drives migration and leaves communities vulnerable; Mullin's analysis tracks workforce from 65% foreign in 2001 to 41% in 2020, but hospitality and construction lag due to ongoing fraud.
Unemployment trends:
1998 (8%);
2002 (12%);
2005 (9%);
2010 (15%);
2015 (11%);
2018 (9%);
2020 (11%);
2022 (10%);
2023 (9%);
2025 (~8%).
Citizen underemployment hits 8.2% vs. mainland norms, as fraudulent postings and wage undercutting hinder access to stable jobs.
Remittances diminish local spending multipliers; birth tourism burdens systems with additional costs for healthcare and education.
Axis fraud enables green cards, entrenching foreign control and exacerbating wage suppression across sectors.
The economic impact extends to reduced tax revenues for CNMI, as foreign workers remit earnings abroad instead of investing locally, creating a "double drain" where U.S. federal investments stimulate activity only to export benefits.
Chronic underemployment among indigenous populations leads to social issues, including higher poverty rates and reliance on federal assistance programs that further strain budgets.
To reverse this, targeted investments in vocational training are needed, focusing on skills for high-demand industries like tourism and military support.
Chapter Four: Audit Findings and Enforcement Mandate
Government Accountability Office reports, along with audits from the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Homeland Security, confirm that the Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis has been siphoning federal grants through mechanisms like the Northern Marianas Housing Corporation trusts, which conceal the assets of elite beneficiaries and divert funds meant for community development. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network maps out remittance flows that show how wages from fraudulently obtained jobs are sent abroad; the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigates casino laundering activities that serve as conduits for illicit funds.
Enforcement imperatives include the deployment of entry and exit biometrics at airports and ports for real-time tracking of visitors, integrating these systems with databases from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to flag overstays within 30 days and prevent unauthorized extensions of stay.
This biometric technology, which is mature and already deployed at mainland U.S. international airports, must be prioritized for implementation in the CNMI to curb the axis's evasion tactics and ensure compliance with visa terms.
The Department of the Treasury, in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations, should conduct thorough tracing and freezing of assets linked to fraudulent activities; the Department of Justice must prosecute violators under federal statutes such as 18 U.S.C. § 1001 for making false statements to government agencies and § 1341 for mail fraud involving deceptive grant applications.
Comprehensive reviews of long-term visas and rushed green card processes—facilitated by rampant CW-1 employment visa fraud from Chinese and Filipino firms—are critical to rooting out embedded networks, as these reviews would verify employment claims and revoke approvals tied to falsified petitions that have allowed foreign workers to transition to permanent status unlawfully.
Audits must extend to all aspects of the visa process, including the verification of qualifications used in applications, and worksite raids should be expanded to ensure ongoing compliance with labor laws.
Agency probes into trafficking indicators, such as excessive recruitment fees and passport confiscation, are essential to dismantle the axis's operations at their core.
Mullin's strategy calls for Department of Homeland Security actions like biometric systems and increased oversight to restore sovereignty by preventing foreign dominance in the labor market.
Scott's fiscal probes support clawbacks via the False Claims Act, targeting millions in misdirected funds that have been siphoned through fraudulent schemes.
Enforcement must address the axis's evolution from CW-1 temporary visas to permanent statuses, enabling family-based petitions that further entrench foreign influence in the territory.
Joint task forces involving multiple agencies should analyze visa chains, identifying patterns where fraudulent employment histories lead to green cards and citizenship claims.
Biometrics ensure compliance by preventing "visa hopping," where individuals overstay or switch categories to avoid detection.
Resource allocation—including dedicated agents, technological upgrades, and interagency collaboration—is vital for deterrence and effective implementation of these measures.
In addition, the CNMI Department of Labor must be mandated to cease and desist from accepting university or college degrees from non-American institutions, particularly those from the Philippines, China, Pakistan, India, and other countries known for operating degree mills that produce fake or unverified credentials.
This mandate is necessary because fraudulent degrees from these nations have been widely used to inflate the qualifications of foreign workers in CW-1 petitions, allowing them to claim expertise in roles that could be filled by American citizens without such embellished resumes.
Degree mills, which are entities that issue bogus diplomas for a fee without requiring legitimate academic work, are prevalent in countries like the Philippines, where reports from the Commission on Higher Education have identified numerous unauthorized institutions; China, where over 210 diploma mills were documented as of 2015 according to government crackdowns; Pakistan, home to the notorious Ax act scandal that sold millions of fake degrees worldwide; and India, where cases like Punjab Technical University and Manav Bharti University involved selling thousands of invalid qualifications to international buyers, including those in the U.S. and Southeast Asia.

By prohibiting the acceptance of these degrees, the CNMI DOL would prevent the axis from exploiting credential fraud to justify excluding local workers, as employers often cite "specialized" foreign expertise backed by these sham documents.
This policy would require verification through accredited U.S. evaluation services or direct confirmation from recognized international bodies, ensuring that only legitimate qualifications are considered in labor certifications.
Implementing this cease-and-desist order would align with federal efforts to combat academic fraud, as seen in U.S. Department of Education warnings about degree mills in states like Wyoming and Montana, as well as offshore havens in the Caribbean and Liberia.
Such a measure would not only strengthen enforcement but also promote fairness in the job market, encouraging investment in American education and training programs to build a skilled local workforce capable of supporting CNMI's economic and strategic needs.
Chapter Five: Constitutional Violations
Article XII's ancestral land limits, voting exclusions, business restrictions, and taxation without representation breach the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law.
Mullin and Scott advocate for comprehensive reforms; the Department of Justice should pursue challenges via the Territory Clause to overturn these discriminatory provisions.
Reforms must balance indigenous safeguards with transparency to block axis proxies from using local partnerships to circumvent restrictions.
READ:>>>
To expand on this, the Covenant's Article XII prohibits non-indigenous Americans from owning land, creating an apartheid-like system that violates constitutional principles and discourages mainland investment.
Voting rights are limited, denying full representation, while business barriers hinder economic participation.
Congressional action is needed to extend full constitutional protections, ensuring all U.S. citizens in territories enjoy equal rights.
Chapter Six: National Security Imperative
CNMI's DoD role—providing logistics and basing—is compromised by axis infiltration:
foreign labor near sites aids spying; repopulation threatens loyalty and could lead to divided allegiances.
Chinese investments mirror Beijing's tactics; instability undermines resilience in a region of intense competition.
Mullin's report flags Indo-Pacific risks; RAND and CSIS note Second Chain vulnerabilities.
Birth tourism, via axis networks, creates "anchor babies" that fraudsters use to control geo-strategic outcomes, anchoring families for influence over military-adjacent lands.
Reviews of visas and green cards are urgent to counter this long-term threat
The islands' proximity to potential conflict zones amplifies these risks, as foreign-controlled demographics could influence policy against U.S. interests.
Enhanced counterintelligence measures are essential to protect DoD investments.
Chapter Seven: America First Action Agenda
The 15-point plan outlines steps to reclaim CNMI:
1. Establish a CNMI Fraud Task Force with HSI, FBI, and Treasury, based in Saipan for on-ground operations.
2. Deploy biometrics within 12 months to track movements.
3-4. Audit Tan Holdings and Hong Ye; prosecute fraud. Add visa and green card reviews tied to CW-1 abuse.
5-6. Conduct NMHC and trust audits; pursue recoveries.
7. Issue GTO for remittances.
8-9. Initiate False Claims litigation; promote qui tam whistleblowers.
10-13. Challenge Article XII; terminate CW-1 in 5 years; grant voting and business rights.
14. Mandate U.S. workers in DoD contracts; fund training programs.
15. Appoint a Governance Review Commission for structural reforms.
Expand enforcement: Biometrics track entries/exits, correlating with remittance data for forensic analysis.
Visa reviews target Chinese/Filipino firms' fraud chains, revoking rushed approvals.
Conclusion: Ending the Cycle
The Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis has systematically ravaged the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a vital U.S. territory in the western Pacific, by exploiting vulnerabilities in immigration policies, federal funding mechanisms, and local governance structures to remit millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funds overseas through fraudulent CW-1 visa schemes.
This axis, comprising networks of Chinese and Philippine labor brokers, investors, and remittance operators, has not only drained economic resources but has also disenfranchised American citizens residing in the CNMI, including indigenous Carolinian, FSM, and Chuukese populations, by perpetuating a labor market that prioritizes cheap foreign workers over local employment opportunities.
Furthermore, this exploitation has introduced significant risks to national security, as foreign entities gain undue influence in a region critical to U.S. Indo-Pacific defense strategies, including military basing on islands like Tinian and Saipan.
Fraudsters within this axis have leveraged birth tourism to produce "anchor babies," U.S. citizens by birth who are now being used as tools to seek long-term geo-strategic dominance, potentially influencing local policies, land ownership near military installations, and even electoral outcomes in ways that could undermine American sovereignty.
Senator Markwayne Mullin's enforcement push aligns closely with these concerns, as evidenced in his public statements and legislative actions that emphasize robust border security measures, including the completion of a border wall along the southern U.S. border, the reinstatement of the Remain in Mexico policy, and stricter enforcement of existing immigration laws.
Mullin's stance prioritizes border security as the foundational step to combating illegal immigration, urging the enforcement of current statutes, the finalization of wall construction to deter unauthorized crossings, a return to the Remain in Mexico protocol which requires asylum seekers to await case processing outside the U.S., and opposition to what he describes as liberal incentives that exacerbate border crises.
This approach is not limited to the mainland but extends to territories like the CNMI, where similar vulnerabilities in visa programs allow foreign networks to embed themselves deeply into the local economy.
Complementing Mullin's positions, Senator Rick Scott's demands for accountability focus on fiscal oversight and the elimination of loopholes that enable fraud, such as those in the CW-1 program that have allowed widespread visa abuse in the CNMI.
Scott's involvement in congressional hearings on CNMI immigration compliance and birth tourism highlights the need for enhanced federal scrutiny to prevent the exploitation of U.S. territories for foreign gain.
Together, Mullin and Scott represent a bipartisan call—though primarily driven by Republican priorities—for comprehensive reforms that address both the economic and security dimensions of the CNMI crisis, ensuring that American interests are protected in the face of growing Indo-Pacific competition.
The time for action is now, as the ongoing cycle of fraud and foreign influence cannot be allowed to persist without severe consequences for U.S. strategic interests. Implementing biometric entry and exit tracking systems at all CNMI ports and airports is an imperative measure that would provide real-time monitoring of visitor movements, ensuring compliance with visa terms and preventing overstays that often lead to unauthorized employment or deeper entrenchment in local communities.
These systems, already proven effective at major U.S. mainland airports, would integrate seamlessly with databases from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), generating automatic alerts for violations and enabling swift enforcement responses.
In the context of the Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis, biometrics would disrupt the ability of fraudsters to manipulate visitor flows, particularly those tied to birth tourism, where pregnant individuals from high-risk countries enter temporarily but overstay to give birth, creating anchor babies who later serve as footholds for family-based immigration petitions.
Equally critical is a thorough review of all CNMI long-term visa approvals and rushed green card processes, many of which have been facilitated by rampant CW-1 employment visa fraud perpetrated by both Chinese and Filipino companies operating in the territory.
These reviews should involve forensic audits of petition documents, including I-129CW forms and ETA-9142C wage certifications, to identify patterns of falsification such as phantom recruitment efforts, occupational misclassifications, and dual compensation structures that underpay workers while evading federal oversight.
Chinese firms like those associated with Hong Ye Group and Filipino manpower agencies linked to Tan Holdings have been emblematic of this fraud, using CW-1 as a gateway to secure permanent residencies through fabricated employment histories or family reunification claims tied to anchor babies.
By revoking fraudulently obtained approvals and imposing penalties under statutes like 18 U.S.C. § 1001 for false statements to federal agencies, the U.S. government can dismantle these pathways and prevent further demographic engineering aimed at controlling CNMI's geo-strategic landscape.
Prosecution of those responsible must be pursued vigorously, with coordinated efforts from the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) targeting the key players in the Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis.
This includes not only the foreign brokers and investors but also complicit local elites who have facilitated the system through regulatory accommodations and suppression of enforcement actions.
Utilizing tools like the False Claims Act for civil recoveries and criminal charges under 18 U.S.C. § 1341 for mail fraud or § 1546 for immigration document misuse, authorities can hold accountable entities that have diverted federal grants—such as those from the Northern Marianas Housing Corporation (NMHC)—into private trusts benefiting a select few.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) should expand its Geographic Targeting Orders to capture all outbound remittances exceeding $1,000, mapping the financial flows from CNMI wages to destinations in Beijing and Manila, and enabling clawbacks of misappropriated funds estimated in the hundreds of millions over the past decade.
Recovering these funds is essential to restoring fiscal integrity and redirecting resources toward American priorities, such as workforce development programs that train indigenous CNMI residents for high-demand sectors like construction, hospitality, and military logistics support
By prioritizing Americans in federal contracting—particularly Department of Defense (DoD) projects in the CNMI—the U.S. can foster economic resilience, reduce unemployment rates that have hovered between 8% and 15% from 1998 to 2025, and break the cycle of foreign labor dependency that has suppressed wages and driven youth out-migration.
This shift would not only empower local communities but also enhance national security by ensuring that critical infrastructure projects are staffed by loyal U.S. citizens, minimizing vulnerabilities to foreign intelligence operations.
Crushing the influence of the Sino-Philippine Fraud Axis requires a multifaceted strategy that addresses the root causes outlined in congressional policy briefs, such as the one prepared for U.S. oversight committees and the Department of Homeland Security.
This report emphasizes enhanced federal oversight, immigration enforcement, biometric monitoring, and workforce development as necessary to restore economic sovereignty and national security in the CNMI.
Historical trends from 1998 to 2025 show a decline in foreign worker dependency from 65% to 41% of the workforce, yet structural barriers persist, exacerbated by visa fraud and weak labor protections for U.S. workers.
The CNMI's strategic importance—as a key component of the U.S. Indo-Pacific defense architecture, located roughly 1,500 miles east of the Philippines, 1,800 miles south of Japan, and 120 miles north of Guam—demands stable civilian governance and workforce independence to support military operations along the Second Island Chain.
The same fraudsters who have exploited CW-1 visas are now attempting to control the geo-strategic outcome of the CNMI via their anchor babies, using these U.S.-born children to establish permanent family ties, acquire property under relaxed restrictions, and influence local politics in ways that favor foreign interests over American ones.
This tactic represents a long-term threat, as these individuals could advocate for policies that align with Beijing's or Manila's agendas, potentially compromising U.S. military basing and deterrence efforts in the region.
To counter this, Congress must enact legislation terminating the CW-1 program within five years, challenging unconstitutional provisions like Article XII's ancestry-based land ownership restrictions, and granting full voting rights to CNMI residents to ensure equal representation.
Ultimately, an America First approach secures the CNMI as a fortified Pacific stronghold by reclaiming sovereignty from foreign capture, delivering justice to defrauded taxpayers, and restoring constitutional order.
This means enforcing laws with the vigor seen on the mainland, tracking every remitted dollar traced back to fraudulent activities, and prosecuting those who have turned American soil into a conduit for overseas enrichment.
The evidence from Government Accountability Office analyses, federal investigations, and congressional records is overwhelming: the cycle must end through decisive, coordinated federal action that prioritizes American workers, rights, and security.
By implementing these reforms, the U.S. can transform the CNMI from a vulnerability into a resilient asset in the age of geo-strategic competition, ensuring that every flag flying over American territory represents uncompromised sovereignty and prosperity for its people.
