The Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Labor (DOL) announced an agreement Tuesday to work together in cracking down on companies that "discriminate" against U.S. workers by hiring foreign workers.
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and the Labor Department will start sharing information on employers, refer issues to the appropriate officials at each department and offer training to each other’s staff under the agreement.
Acting Assistant General John Gore said in a statement that the agreement will help the civil rights division’s “ability to identify employers the favor temporary visa holders over U.S. workers who can do the job.”
“Employers should hire workers based on their skills, experience, and authorization to work; not based on discriminatory preferences that violate the law,” he said.
Rosemary Lahasky, the deputy assistant secretary for DOL’s employment and training administration, said in a statement that sharing the information “will help protect U.S. workers from unlawful discrimination.”
DOJ and DOL say they reached the agreement “to better protect U.S. workers from discrimination by employers that prefer to hire temporary visa workers over qualified U.S. workers.”
President Trump has promoted an “America First” agenda, criticizing companies that move plants out of the U.S. and stoking concerns about immigrants taking American jobs.
Critics have hit Trump over the statements, noting that his own private properties have filed multiple requests to hire foreign workers. The properties hire the workers through the H-2B visa program, which allows American employers to bring foreign workers to the country for temporary, non-agricultural work.
The employers must be able to show there are not enough American workers able or willing to fill the seasonal jobs.
The Trump National Golf Club in Florida asked the Labor Department for permission to hire about a dozen foreign workers this month, BuzzFeed News reported.
Other properties have made similar requests, including Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Trump has defended the practice, saying in 2015 that it is "very hard to get people in Florida for seasonal jobs."
Worked with my current 19 years. Your poor statement is why many companies do poor. There are things that can be part of that relationship other than pure money.
“Your poor statement is why many companies do poor. There are things that can be part of that relationship other than pure money.”
Companies do poor for any number of reasons, and treating employees poorly is one of them.
As for the employer-employee relationship. My only advice is, Don’t love your job as it can’t love you back.
Employees and employers are always disposable.
“Citizens are being replaced. Ask Disney, State Farm, Southern California Edison...”
Suppose a Chinese company offered you a job, a job that is very similar to your current job, and would pay you ten times what you make now?
Would you take the job?
No, I wouldn’t.
To take that job in the same way the tramp steamers full of Indian nationals steal jobs here, I’d have to obtain a Chinese work visa for the position.
Unlike our politicians, I suspect the Chinese are smart enough to not allow the strip-mining of Tech jobs across China.
Let’s say that you did not have to move. Same type of job in your same city.
Would you take a job from a Chinese company that pats ten times what you now make?
No, I wouldn’t. For that price, there would be a catch.
If you want to suggest jobs like this, you need to make those suggestions on the same terms these job stealing Indian thieves have when they arrive here.
It’s well past time to return all of these visa workers home, where they can work on making India great again.
Been at my place for 18 years. Maybe yours has not lasted because you talk like you do here.
Does you job love you?
More than you do, rofl
