DOL’s Steps to Protect US Workers

Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second

By FAIR, Special for  USDR

 

The following statement was released in response to the announcement by Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta to increase protections for U.S. workers while moving aggressively against those committing visa fraud. The statement should be attributed to Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) President Dan  Stein.

“The Trump Administration came into office promising to ensure that the interests of U.S. workers and the American public were at the forefront when formulating immigration policy. Secretary Acosta is following through with this principle by vowing to crack down on those who manipulate the nonimmigrant visa system to bypass American workers with cheap foreign guest  workers.

“The Secretary clearly understands that many middle class Americans continue to suffer under the double-whammy of mass immigration combined with wage depression. At long last, the American worker has an advocate heading the Department of Labor, who will have the courage to take on the special interests that have undermined the labor protections in immigration  law.

“To ensure these safeguards remain in effect, we urge Congress to incorporate these principles and more into  legislation.”
