Summary

Uline, owned by Trump donors Liz and Dick Uihlein, allegedly uses Mexican workers on tourist and B1 visas to staff U.S. warehouses, according to a Guardian investigation. Experts say this practice is likely illegal.

The workers perform regular warehouse tasks, not training, and are paid less than U.S. counterparts.

Despite supporting Trump’s anti-immigration policies, the Uihleins profit from exploiting immigrant labor, underscoring hypocrisy.

Immigration advocates criticize the program as labor exploitation that undermines wages for all workers.

Uline and the Uihleins declined to comment on the allegations.

    Hypocrisy is their superpower.

    Same in construction. Same in meatpacking. Same in agriculture.

    They support trump’s policies to terrorize their own workforces.

    “Experts say this practice is likely illegal”

    Um, it is definitely illegal. Employers are required to obtain proof of eligibility from new hires. You cannot work on a tourist visa so if you employ such workers you are in violation of the law.

    But of course these Trumpists will never be punished, it’s much easier to destroy the workers lives. If the Republicans were serious about tackling illegal immigration they would enforce the law on employers by levying heavy punitive fines for violations. It would be a lot cheaper than mass deportation.

    But then we would have to reform immigration to allow for legal entry to meet labor needs and businesses want cheap labor here illegally so they can be abused.

          As long as you have absolutely zero qualifying qualities and aren’t expecting to get paid, he’ll hire you for anything.
