The poster boy for employer sanctions for illegal hiring was Trump. The Employer Sanctions Act, also known as the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, is a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) that prohibits employers from hiring unauthorized workers.
Several of his golf clubs hire workers on the H-2B visa program. Hiring records show that Trump clubs don’t try too hard to find US workers in the high season, and the company’s recruiters usually say that no Americans even apply for them. In a prospective American is denied a job, there may be a cause of action.
Are not Trumps H-2b Visa hires from Poland and Eastern Europe? That is white folk,and even then he doesn't pay them all o f their earned wages, and I am sure that although he deducts taxes, L&I, and FICA he doesn't remit them to the Federal Treasury or the State.
Yes. Probably Slovenia. For years I produced an annual seminar at hotels nationally. Virtually all take advantage. I never saw any Africans.... A few Asians.
The contracts are audited. That's how we got the cases.
I read that when Trump built his casino he imported construction workers from Poland, and still didn't pay them.
Had to pay $2 mil + reimburse them at Trump Tower. He had a modeling agency, brought in H1B, had other ventures. He probably contracted out to labor pools.
In Ocean City, Rehobeth, most of the hotel workers were Polish visa workers. Here we had asbestos in the federal buildings; contractors brought Polish workers to remove it. I also had jurisdiction over abestosis re government contractors, never hasd any Polish workers' cases. I assume some went home to die.
Many employers contract with labor pools, pass themselves off as independent contractors.
