“...packed all 30 of us into three rooms... “
Texas coyotes can pack 56 into a mobile home!
Good..sue..you will be shown up in our court system as the liars you are.
Wonder who’s supporting them during their unemployment? The ACLU? Southern Poverty Law Center?
The way the H2B visas work, the employers sort of own them.
The visa is given to a work slot not an individual. Although any individuals filling the work slot must pass a background to make sure they have no criminal record.
If the employer qualifies for 4 workslots and is approved they sign an agreement with INS.
The employer is responsible for meeting them at the border, taking their visa from them, paying at least minimum wage anything above minimum wage can be in the form of housing. When their visa is up the employer must escort them back across the border.
They must have all Futa, Fica and medicare must be deducted from their paychecks and the employer pays a percentage above that because they are H2B visas.
The employer can’t loan them or use them in any class of work that is not earmarked for H2B visas. If they need to lay them off, they must continue to pay them or return them to their country.
So......
No they were, H2B work visas, does not convey immigration status. They are required to return home when job is completed. If not they become illegals.
Yep, but they're suing anyway, hoping to get a few bucks to line their pockets.
