illegal immigrants jobs USA

As communities nationwide grapple with tenacious unemployment, migrant workers are often accused of stealing jobs from Americans. The union believes this accusation is without basis, and intends to demonstrate this with a newly-launched campaign called "Take Our Jobs."

Facing growing anti-immigrant rhetoric, the United Farm Workers union ischallenging Americans to take their labor-intensive, low-paying farm 

Through its Web site, at www.takeourjobs.org, the union promises to connect applicants with farm jobs in their area.Since Nov 20, at least 37,000 people have responded to the application, said Rodriguez. Some are serious responses and others are hate mail. "Only a few dozen have really followed through with the process," he said.

The Department of Agriculture counts nearly one million farm workers in the United States. According to the Migrant Farm Worker Justice Project, 85% of farm workers are immigrants -- and up to 70% of them are illegal.

Most applicants quickly lose interest once the reality sinks in that these are back-breaking jobs in triple-digit temperatures that pay minimum wage, usually without benefits, according to the union. Some small farms are not required to pay minimum wage and in 15 states farms aren't required to offer workers' compensation.

Despite the dismal job market in the U.S., where the unemployment rate is 9.5% and 19.6 million people are out of work,..

Illegal border crossings into Canada continue to rise

Illegal border crossings into Canada continue to rise

The number of asylum seekers caught crossing illegally into Canada continues to rise, according to newly released figures.

The Canada Border Services Agency says that nearly half of the 1,860 migrants who have snuck across the Canada-United States border on foot rather than making a claim for refugee status at an official border crossing did so in March.

In a statement, Public Security Minister Ralph Goodale’s office said that while the figures have risen, they are still relatively small and have not affected other aspects of the immigration system.

“Canadian authorities are managing the increase in asylum seekers in a sound and measured way, applying our laws and procedures to keep Canadians safe while fully respecting all of this country’s international obligations,” the statement said.

Border Security Arrests Bulk Cash Smuggling..

U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested two men on Tuesday afternoon for smuggling more than $3 million dollars that was being transported in separate vehicles traveling in North County.
At the scene of the vehicle stop.
This amount of money represents the largest currency seizure ever in San Diego Sector,” said Chief Patrol Agent Richard A. Barlow.  “The hard work and perseverance demonstrated by the involved agents was essential for this outcome.”
a Border Patrol K-9 alerted agents to conduct a search of the vehicle, resulting in the discovery of eight vacuum-sealed bundles containing $33,880 that was stashed in the center console.  A 53-year-old male U.S. citizen was arrested upon the discovery.
Soon after, the agents found the vehicle’s driver, a 41-year-old male Mexican national, hiding in some brush nearby and arrested him for suspicion of currency smuggling.  Agents searched the vehicle and seized $3,018,000 that was found inside eight boxes located in the trunk.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

Drug smuggling,shootouts Border Force..

Security forces ordered to shoot out drugs smugglers..

Drug shootouts. Smugglers scrambling down the canyons. When congressmen wanted tours of the area, they’d have to see it from the window of a helicopter because Border Patrol couldn’t guarantee their safety.
In the middle of a peaceful green valley where the salt air drifts in clean and fresh from the ocean, it can be hard to remember the chaos.
The border fence isn't the only thing to patrol. In San Diego, border agents also monitor the water for drug smuggling. (Nick Oza/USA TODAY NETWORK)
But the fences did not stop the drug smuggling. With a near-infinite supply of money and resources on the other side, drugs continue to move under, around and through anything the country builds.
Then came the fences. One perimeter, then a secondary. The fences helped the Border Patrol reclaim this little sliver of the country.

Border officers 'sham' wedding and arrest groom in bow tie..

The operation was carried out with the full co-operation of the superintendent registrar who was to have overseen the marriage ceremony at the register office.
We are working closely with registrars across the Thames Valley to clampdown on sham weddings and civil partnerships,' said UK Border Agency assistant director Paul Smith.
'Where there are suspicions that a relationship may not be genuine we will investigate and, if necessary, intervene to stop it happening.'
The Border Agency said that a sham marriage typically occurred when a non-European national married someone from the European Economic Area as a means of attempting to gain long-term residency and the right to work and claim benefits in the UK.
The blonde bride, wearing her white gown and clutching her bouquet of white roses, was questioned by officers before being released.
Her would-be husband has been detained and today faced deportation from the UK.
his is the dramatic moment a bow-tie wearing bridegroom was arrested by police as he was about to say 'I do' in a sham marriage.
The officers from the UK Border Agency dramatically stopped the ceremony as the 40-year-old 'groom', from Pakistan, was set to marry a 33-year-old Polish woman, even though the couple could not speak the same language and needed translators to communicate with each other.
The grey-suited man was about to marry his bride, dressed in white and carrying a bouquet of white blooms, when stab-vest wearing police and border officials stormed into the register office in Sloug.
We take attempts to take part in sham marriages very seriously and work with the UK Border Agency to identify suspected sham weddings and ensure those concerned are dealt with appropriately,' said a spokesman from Slough Borough Council.

How much does the sponsor visa cost?

How much does the sponsor visa cost?

Getting an employment visa sponsorship is not cheap. Especially to the US employer who has to pay most of the fees. Depending on the visa, it might cost up to a few thousand dollars to sponsor a foreign employee. Because it is so expensive, employers are reluctant to do it.

The actual fees depend on the visa type, but a general overview of the most common fees and their costs are as follows:

• Form I-129 – $460
• Form I-140 – $700
• American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998(ACWIA) – $750 or $1,500
• Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee – $500
• For employers with 50 or more employees and 50% of them are foreign – $4,000 or $4,500

U.S. Employment Visa Sponsorship

The US is a powerful global force with high economic development. The promise of the American dream and of success attracts people from all over the world. They want to find jobs and build new lives in the country. But even though a lot of people want jobs in the US, it is a long process to get them. There are many steps that foreign people need to take to legally work in the country.
One very important step is a US employment sponsorship. This article will explore the details and information on US employment visa sponsorship.

What is a US Visa Sponsorship?

To be able to go to the US to work, you must first find a job. The employer must be willing to hire someone who is not from the US. The company you plan to work for must know that you are not a US citizen or Legal Permanent Resident (LPR). If the employer is aware and still wants to hire you, then they agree to sponsor you.
 US visa or employment sponsorship means that the employer in the US is hiring you. They are guaranteeing to the US visa authorities that you will be a legal working resident. The employer will state that you will work the job position they hired you for. Also, they must guarantee that you will get the same salary as a US citizen or LPR in the same job position.
The employer visa sponsorship is not exactly a letter as most people think. They are a set of documents that is sent to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It is not only one sponsorship letter as most people think. The documents must have different forms and letters with the employment information. They must also state that the employer is willingly hiring the employee.
The tricky part in an employment visa sponsorship is to justify hiring a foreign employee. The US has a large population, so why not hire a US citizen or LPR? This is one question that most employers must answer when they try to sponsor a foreign employee.
To solve this, the employer must post job ads and submit other documents to the US Department of Labor. The employer must wait for someone to respond to the job ads. If no one does, they can argue that they could not find anyone to do the job. This will mean that the US citizens or LPRs were not available or skilled for that position. Then the US employer can justify hiring a foreign employee.

So as a recap, if you want to work in the US, you must find an employer willing to sponsor you. Working without a sponsorship means you are working illegally. That can have consequences and you might end up deported or arrested.

Do I Need a Visa Sponsorship Letter?
Since there are so many US visas, it can be confusing to know which ones are for employment. Even within the US work visas, for very short seasonal work you might not need a sponsorship. But you must keep in mind that most employment offers in the US will need a visa sponsorship. The US visas have groups of nonimmigrant and immigrant visas. Below are the ones that need employment sponsorships.
How Long is the Sponsor visa USA valid?

Getting the sponsorship and the visa are the difficult parts. After you get the visa, then you can make your travel arrangements. Once you go to the US, you can start working. But if you have a nonimmigrant work visa, then its validity is temporary. This means that after some time, it will expire.

How long the nonimmigrant work visa is valid depends on the type of visa you have. Some like the H-1B visa are valid for 3 years, while others could only be valid for 1 year. So you must check the details of your visa to not overstay.

When the time comes for your visa to expire, some can get extensions. The employer can apply again for the sponsorship to USCIS and you could get the visa again. But for the nonimmigrant visas, there are limited extensions. In most cases you will not be able to extend for more than 2 or 3 times.
As for the immigrant work visas, they are permanent. Once you get these visas, you get a Green Card. The Green Card is valid for 10 year
