The Media Misses a Major H-2B Scandal in California
By David North on August 16, 2017
The media missed a major "pay-to-stay" scandal involving H-2B visas.
More precisely, just days after the Department of Homeland Security controversially opened up 15,000 more visas for these alien workers, the news that someone had illicitly sold scores of other H-2B visas was almost totally ignored by the press, with only one local NBC TV station covering the story.
The story itself was all too familiar to those who follow immigration.
An executive in an immigrant-brokering operation for airplane mechanics apparently used his position to shake down workers he had recruited as H-2Bs, and then shook them down again as many of them sought to move on to permanent resident status. Some of the victims (or co-conspirators) entered the United States from Mexico on TN visas, a worker visa created by the NAFTA agreement; all were from Mexico.
