    Sessions Fines Housekeeping Company for Importing Foreigners Instead of Hiring Americans

    The DOJ settlement with Palmetto Beach Hospitality LLC is the fourth settlement by Sessions’ Protecting U.S. Workers Initiative where companies across the United States have been fined and penalized for importing foreign workers when there were qualified, ready to work Americans for the job.
    In the latest case of anti-American discrimination investigated by the Justice Department, Palmetto illegally ignored the applications of American workers who had applied for housekeeping positions.
    Instead, Palmetto imported foreign workers to take the housekeeping jobs through the H-2B visa program, which allows businesses to import foreigners to take blue-collar jobs. Palmetto, according to the investigation, claimed that it could not find Americans to do the jobs, even though Americans had applied for the available positions.
    Subsequently, the Department of Labor allowed Palmetto to import H-2B foreign workers.
    Now, the DOJ is requiring Palmetto to pay $42,000 in civil penalties, as well as setting aside $35,000 in lost wages for the American workers who were passed over in favor of imported foreign workers.

    Sessions should go to the root of the problem and figure out why the visa's were granted in the first place.

    Don't treat the symptom. Treat the problem.

    Maybe this will turn into something like the drug war. It might be more profitable to create an illegal environment and then fine the entities that break that law.

    This would have to affect very big players. Not sure Sessions has the balls for that.

    Subsequently, the Department of Labor allowed Palmetto to import H-2B foreign workers.
    So it’s “OK, carry on”?

    Other than that, this is similar to how the immigration laws were actually enforced in the past. No border wall, no “Real ID” required. Probable cause based on a report of illegal labor, and it was investigated. There were penalties and deportations occurred.

    I call BS- I worked along side some major hospitality/service orgs & finding any locals that will actually do the job is almost impossible. Knew one lady that was trying to fill a very well-paying home care job for an elderly patient & finally had to go to the service organization of predominately hispanics, to get the job filled.

    Plus if you really want something cleaned promptly & efficiently, Mexicans are the bomb.

    I call wishful thinking, if they didn't have proof Americans applied for the jobs the employer wouldn't have settled.
