More Foreign Workers Sought in Alien-Worker-Saturated Mariana Islands
By David North on October 1, 2019
What do you do when there is an alleged need for more construction workers in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, an American territory just North of Guam?
Bear in mind that nearly half of the work force there consists of temporary foreign workers, a powerless lot of 13,000 or so who cannot hope for U.S. citizenship, and who cannot vote. Nor can these CW-1 visa holders, for some statutory reason lost in history, do construction work.
Do you do the sensible thing and try to remove the "no construction work" requirement, so that you give jobs to current resident aliens and not expand the foreign worker population still further? Do you look for H-2B workers from nations that have not supplied them in the past?
