The app for independent voices

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Great discussions

Pam Bondi said on Fox that the FBI’s arrest of a county judge is “sending a very strong message.” Yes, Pam, and that message is, this country is being ruled by fascist traitors.

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave

-Paid family & medical leave

-Universal childcare

-Universal pre-K

-Expanded Child Tax Credit

-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

How the GOP Exploits the Migrant Crisis

Thom, we have longstanding temporary visa programs. I heard appeals for 20 years. E.G. dol.gov/agencies/eta/fo…

2025 allocation under Biden. uscis.gov/working-in-th…

We also have several other visa programs.

At one time I was on the BALCA board. dol.gov/agencies/oalj/c…

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.

Daniel Solomon's avatar

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.

William Farrar's avatar

I read that when Trump built his casino he imported construction workers from Poland, and still didn't pay them.

Daniel Solomon's avatar

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.
