P.M. Edition for May 28. As the Trump administration has threatened to roll back temporary legal protection of immigrant workers, U.S. businesses are preparing for a blow to their workforce. WSJ senior special writer Ruth Simon visited one such company to understand what that might mean for its business. Plus, Elon Musk criticized President Trump's tax-and-spending bill, saying that it failed to reduce the federal deficit. And Nvidia's sales soar as demand for artificial intelligence chips surges, even with the company effectively shut out of China. Alex Ossola hosts.

President Donald Trump has promised to carry out a mass deportation effort that would remove millions of immigrants residing illegally in the United States. Will the massive scale of deportations improve the U.S. economy and deliver greater job prospects for U.S.-born workers, as Trump has claimed? In early March, “México Centered” host Tony Payan examined the issue with Chloe East, an associate professor of economics at the University of Colorado Denver, for the “Conversations on Migration” series, a monthly virtual series hosted by the Baker Institute Migration Initiative. East explained why mass deportations don't actually help U.S.-born workers and why Trump's proposed deportations will instead come with a significant price tag.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're continuing our discussion about the controversial comments from Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy about importing foreign Indian cheap labor slaves to replace hardworking Americans. But this time, we're also shining a spotlight on Elon Musk's alarming behavior on X (formerly Twitter). While touting "free speech," Musk has been banning and demonetizing voices who dare to challenge him or his globalist agenda.Why are these so-called leaders abandoning America First principles? And what does it mean for the future of free speech when even self-proclaimed champions of the First Amendment silence dissent?

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear a recording of a panel discussion that took place at Concordia University in Montreal, entitled Voices of the Immigrant Workers Centre. The panel focuses on the grassroots organizing in one of Montreal's former garment districts in the city around supporting garment sector workers at Lamour Inc. who were facing mass layoffs. This panel highlights a campaign that took place at a grassroots level, largely outside of the formal labour sector and took place at the intersection of many points of systemic violence targeting workers, all of whom were racialized immigrant textile workers. Information on this panel can be found here: https://storytelling.concordia.ca/event/voices-of-the-immigrant-workers-centre On the program we hear from the event host Lauren Laframboise, IWC activists and organizers Yumna Siddiqi and Mostafa Henaway, as well as the host of this program, Free City Radio, Stefan Christoff. Background information on the oral history interview series that aired on Free City Radio for this project to document the campaign that the Immigrant Workers Centre organized to support Lamour Inc. workers can be found here: https://deindustrialization.org/voices-of-the-iwc Stefan's work on this event was supported by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University and took place at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS).

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on immigrant workers' role in the U.S. economy.
Hey folks, due to an annoying technical glitch, I'm just re-releasing this episode. This was some weird backend problem with our hosting. The file looks completely fine everywhere that I can see, but internet goblins decide otherwise, I guess. Sorry for the trouble and I'll make sure this won't happen again!

Who was Francis Scott Key anyway, and why has the man who gave the world the phrase "land of the free and the home of the brave" gotten a total pass for writing the world's worst national anthem while owning people and prosecuting abolitionists? We then honor the memories of the six Latino immigrants who lost their lives in this disaster by taking a closer look at the contributions of both undocumented and "lightly documented" workers to the U.S. economy, including the massive boost of more than $7 trillion that the Congressional Budget Office has predicted the so-called "border crisis" will bring in the coming years. But what about the most recent Republican "solution" to give the world's whitest and wealthiest a chance at the American Dream? Would Thomas be able to immigrate to the U.S. under Sen. Tom Cotton's RAISE Act? We end with a short cruise through maritime law and examine why the owners of the Dali are seeking protection under the same 209-year-old maritime law which was used to severely limit the liability of everyone responsible for the Titanic. 1.

Advocates of legal immigration say foreign-born workers have long been a key factor in U.S. economic growth. But are they sharing in the benefits of their contributions?

Silicon Valley relies on a huge foreign born workforce, mostly from India and China, to provide specialized skills in fields like engineering, biotech, AI and computer science. But after the most recent round of tech layoffs, visa holders have 60 days to find a new job, or lose their residency in the U.S. Tech reporter Pranav Dixit has been paying attention to the outsized role foreign born workers play in companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon, who have laid off more than 26,000 employees in 2023, and thousands more at the end of 2022. In the course of his reporting, Dixit has found that these drastic cuts have left immigrant programmers and computer scientists wondering if it's worth staying in the U.S. “People are really using this time to reevaluate their priorities and their relationships,” said Dixit, “with both the US and their own country in many cases.” Read more of Pranav Dixit's reporting for Buzzfeed: Laid-Off Tech Workers On H-1B Visas Might Be Forced To Leave The Country And check out his past appearance on the program: Podcast: Why Farmers are Fighting in Modi's India - World Affairs Council Guest: Pranav Dixit, tech reporter at Buzzfeed Host: Ray Suarez If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

The big news in the tech world today is, of course, the announcement from Microsoft that it'll lay off roughly 10,000 employees by April. Other tech giants have already announced big reductions. Let's run down some of the numbers: Twitter has cut 3,700 jobs. Meta — 11,000. Salesforce — 7,000. And today, Amazon begins its planned reduction of 18,000 people. While the leaders of these companies are largely blaming macro-economic conditions, each layoff is felt at the personal level.

The language that is used to talk about immigrants in America is something that really bothers Chris. A common and unproductive trope that's heard in media is “a flood of immigrants to the border.” At the same time, there is a growing dependance at the foundational level on the labor of immigrants in the U.S. As natural disasters are happening with increasing frequency and intensity, communities are relying more and more on immigrant laborers. Saket Soni is director of Resilience Force, a national initiative that advocates on behalf of disaster recovery workers. He's also author of the upcoming book, “The Great Escape: A True Story of Forced Labor and Immigrant Dreams In America.” The subject of the story starts when Soni, who was 28 years old at the time, received an anonymous phone call from an Indian migrant who told him about incredibly inhumane worker conditions at a labor camp in Mississippi. The extraordinary journey that follows is told in the fascinating read about how Soni and 500 workers devised a bold plan, after a series of clandestine meetings, to escape and bring attention to their cause in Washington, D.C. He joins WITHpod to discuss writing about one of the largest human trafficking cases in modern American history, his deeply personal story coming to the U.S. from India, the importance of a well-protected skilled resilient workforce, rebuilding social fabrics around this topic and more.
John Dorer, CEO of Immigration Office Solutions, Global Staffing Expert joins Megan and Tom talking about the need for immigrant workers and what it does for the US economy.

California has expanded the state's Medicaid program to some undocumented immigrant workers, but not all. Who gets coverage, and who doesn't? Is lack of insurance coverage the only issue immigrant workers face when it comes to their survival? Did the pandemic reveal that the "safety net" is full of holes? To find out, we spoke to Luz Gallegos, executive director of TODEC Legal Center in Southern California's Inland Empire. The nonprofit mobilizes immigrant communities to build political power and demand justice while advocating for their most critical needs – from improved schools and better jobs to expanding access to medical coverage and legal protections.

(OHIO NEWS CONNECTION) - As the country reels with the highest levels of inflation seen since the 1980s, experts say without adding more workers, wage increases could drive prices - and inflation - even higher in Ohio and across the U.S. While many future jobs will be taken by youths aging into the workforce, research suggests many positions will still go unfilled unless the Buckeye State, and the U.S. as a whole, gains more workers by 2030. Andrew Lim is the director of research for the nonprofit American Immigration Council. Through analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics and other data, his organization found immigration policy in Canada and other countries may be the golden ticket. "The government, in coordination with the provinces in Canada, say, 'What are the jobs that are most in demand? Where do you need these workers?'" said Lim. "And we don't have that in the U.S. We have an immigration system that largely has not been reformed for now three decades. And so it's really not as responsive as other countries have been able to become." Of the more than 165 million jobs expected to exist in 2030, almost half will be left open by retirees, career changers, or workers who've left the labor market entirely, according to American Immigration Council findings. Lim said Ohio mirrors much of what's going on nationally, with the added problem that some of the state's major cities have been shrinking since as far back as the 1970s.

Nick Levendofsky is the Government Relations Director with the WI Farmers Union. On May 3rd, they're hosting a webinar to have open dialog about Wisconsin agriculture's dependence on immigrant labor. It will featuring a documentary titled "Los Lecheros". We've been following a story about a dairy farm in Wisconsin that essentially had their Facebook identity stolen. Golden E dairy in Kewaskum started receiving strange phone messages, texts and actual visitors to the farm looking for mini Highland calves - which didn't exist. How can farms, agribusinesses protect themselves from things like this? Pam Jahnke talks to Mike Domke, Director of the Division of Consumer Protection at the WI Dept. of Ag., Trade and Consumer Protection. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It doesn't matter what country you're from or if you're in the U.S. documented or not. Workplace injuries don't care about immigration status or language abilities. Everyone hurt on the job deserves representation. Arizona-based workers' rights attorneys Robert Wisniewski and Javier Grajeda share their vast experiences representing immigrant workers. Communication is vital, and those with limited English proficiency often need help. Wisniewski shares tips on helping foreign workers communicate the extent of their injuries. American demographics are changing, but our system of protections is for everyone. A competent, certified interpreter is one key. Undocumented workers, and even documented immigrants, may not know they have rights or may be afraid to speak up. Some may not have valid tax ID information or may work under an assumed name. Others may have left the country or been deported after an accident. What are cultural tells? How do other cultures react in a courtroom? How do legal professionals vet interpreters? How can you ask simple, direct questions that may uncover information a case hinges on? These and other tips, in this episode of Workers' Comp Matters.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Canada's immigration system for high-skilled workers is severely backlogged and even amidst a labour shortage, the government is pausing new invitations because the department simply can't process them quickly enough, according to a briefing document. Immigration lawyer Steven Meurrens obtained the document through access to information and provided it to the National Post. In the memo, department officials outline that “an estimated 76,000” applicants are in the inventory for federal high-skilled worker applications, which is more than what the government needs to meet targets all the way out to 2023. GUEST: Leah Nord, Senior Director of Workforce Strategies and Inclusive Growth for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce - After a week of diplomacy fails between Russia and the U.S amid mass build-up of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine, where does Canada stand? ALSO: Conservatives defy Erin O'Toole by siding with critical senator GUEST: Dr. Lori Turnbull, Director of the School of Public Administration with Dalhousie University - Much has been made of late on social media and in the mainstream media, about trucker protests that are in the works. Truckers are rightfully upset about a vaccine mandate that was clumsily applied to cross-border essential workers, including the professional drivers who've been keeping us supplied throughout the pandemic. But such protests rarely deliver results, aside from angering the motoring public and casting shade on our industry. We will report on significant events that disrupt our industry and your businesses, but do nothing to support this form of protest. One disturbing trend is the amount of money being thrown at recent attempts to bring commerce to a halt. One initiative raised more than $900,000 via GoFundMe in less than a week.

Across southern Oregon, illegal marijuana farms have caused environmental issues in areas already in drought. Now they've raised humanitarian concerns as immigrant agriculture workers deal with working conditions. Advocates say these workers face poor housing and, on some occasions, aren't paid for the work they do. Joining us for details is UNETE's Program Coordinator Kathy Keese.
We look at why African governments stand by and do nothing when their citizens get abused, tortured, and murdered abroad. In the past two years, for example, at least 89 Kenyans working in Saudi Arabia have died under suspicious circumstances. Many were domestic workers, whose bodies had clear signs of torture. What is really going … Continue reading Episode 75: Why Saudis continue to murder Kenyan immigrant workers

Latino and immigrant workers keep the economy of "wine country" going.

“This is a group of people who are figuring out how to pay their bills every month. And now they’re going to be faced with a more difficult challenge, and the government isn’t coming in to help them.” J.D. Long-Garcia is a senior editor at America working out of Phoenix, Az. He covers the south west, where the Catholic Church is growing. During the Covid-19 pandemic, his writing has focused on immigrant workers, an especially vulnerable group to the current economic disruption. “In some sense today, social distancing is a privilege. It’s for the privileged class. And that’s not this group of people. If they social distance, they aren’t going to have any money.” J.D. also discusses his journalistic approach to covering communities that are a part of his own life and heritage, and explains how undocumented immigrants bring much more to America than they take away.

In episode 11 of At The Table, Sari speaks to Carina Kaufman-Guttierez, Deputy Director of the Street Vendor Project. Street Vendor Project works with approximately 2,000 people who sell food and merchandise on the streets of New York City.About 90% of their vendors are low-wage immigrant workers, often undocumented, who rely on busy streets to feed and support themselves and their families. With little access to grants and government benefits, the pandemic has left many of these vendors with nowhere to turn. Carina explains how the Street Vendor Project is providing support to these front line workers at a practical and policy level, from protecting vendors from police harassment to creating access to small business grants. She explains how we can best support this extremely vulnerable population, especially through the Street Vendor Covid-19 Emergency Fund, created to provide relief payments directly to as many individual vendors as possible.Food Without Borders is powered by Simplecast.

This week's episode of The Farm Report is focused on immigration and agriculture. Guest host Challey Comer is joined by Maria Rojas from GrowNYC and Mary Jo Dudley from the Cornell Farmworker Program. While there are many aspects of immigration to discuss, today's conversation is focused on community aspects of the issue. We learn about farmworker communities, employment experiences, and regulations that impact this integral part of the agricultural industry. Mary Jo Dudley is the director of the Cornell Farmworker program and a faculty member of the Department of Development Sociology at Cornell University.

This teleconference discusses important new changes to the rules governing the immigrant and nonimmigrant visa programs, with a focus on how these changes may affect employers. Portions of the final regulation ("Retention of EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 Immigrant Workers and Program Improvements Affecting High-Skilled Nonimmigrant Workers") to be covered include the ‘I-140 EAD rule,’ the provisions related to continued validity of I-140s following employer withdrawals, and nonimmigrant grace periods.
Drawing on research for his recent book, "Voices from the Canefields," author Franklin Odo situates over two hundred songs of Japanese immigrant workers in Hawaii, in translation, in a hitherto largely unexplored historical context. According to Odo, folk songs are short stories from the souls of common people. Some,like Mexican corridos or Scottish ballads reworked in the Appalachians, are stories of tragic or heroic episodes. Others, like the African American blues, reach from a difficult present back into slavery and forward into a troubled future. Japanese workers on Hawaii's plantations created their own versions, in form more akin to their traditional tanka or haiku poetry. These holehole bushi describe the experiences of one particular group caught in the global movements of capital, empire, and labor during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Opportunity in America - Events by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program
In the United States today, roughly 25 million workers, over 16 percent of all workers, are foreign-born. Immigrant workers contribute skills, knowledge and labor to the U.S. economy through employment in a diversity of sectors, including hospitality, construction, information technology, health care and others. Foreign-born workers also start businesses at higher rates than native born workers, contributing to economic growth and job creation. While some immigrant workers and business owners achieve great economic success, others operate marginal businesses or are employed in jobs where wages are low, working conditions are poor, and safety standards are disregarded. For foreign-born workers that wish to improve their education and upgrade their skills, other barriers may stand in their way, such as limited English skills or poor access to financial aid. Millions of these workers have toiled in the shadows of the labor market, but soon, the nation may have opportunities to both improve job quality and offer ways for these workers to build their skills. These opportunities can help improve employment for the labor market and economy overall in ways that benefit all Americans. In this event, a leading scholar of immigration and immigration policy from the Brookings Institution, a nationally recognized community college president from Prince George's Community College, a leading advocate for immigrant workers from the AFL-CIO, and a distinguished community organizer and leader of an award-winning Latino services organization, CASA de Maryland, discuss the immigrant workforce in the U.S. today, focusing on its past and potential economic contributions, opportunities for gaining skills as well as the implications of immigration, and immigration reform for job quality. This event features Ana Avendaño (Assistant to the President and Director of Immigration and Community Action, AFL-CIO), Charlene Dukes (President, Prince George's Community College), Audrey Singer (Senior Fellow, Metropolitan Policy Program, The Brookings Institution), Gustavo Torres (Executive Director, CASA de Maryland), and moderator Julia Preston (National Immigration Correspondent, The New York Times).

Janice R. Fine, Rutgers UniversityRemembering the Triangle Fire – Immigrant Workers Then and NowThe Graduate Center, CUNYMarch 24, 2011Political scientist and labor studies professor Janice Fine spoke on a panel as part of the 100th anniversary remembrance of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. She contrasts the situation of immigrant workers in at the turn of the twentieth century with low-wage immigrant workers today. This nineteen-minute talk covers the issues of migration and the role of migrants in the labor force, immigration policy, labor standards and occupational health, and trends in immigrant worker organizing. From 1990 to 2000 more immigrants arrived in the U.S. than in any previous decade, and while many lessons can be learned from past struggles for immigrant workers’ rights Professor Fine notes the ways that ethnicity, legal status, and the changing nature of work impact opportunities for low-wage immigrant workers and their ability to organize.
