11:45 pm
threats did not make those threats would not be strange but our clients were by no means trying to send these people. or to revoke their visas or to do it with an actual shortfall seceded from over in $6000.00 to $9.00 us for it to be able number it's their contractually bound to pay it and if we cover easier for the covers or up to cushion for their work permit in accommodation costs or if it's tied to. it's a question about recruitment things aren't paid legal these workers are alleging that they were charged dirs things now before a no no no no there is no such thing as a recruiting role always or the word recruitment feet and number 2 there are 4 causes mr miller's looking for. airplane travel there is an application fee to beat them to be paid to get a ration of the plane cards in foreigners and in need not in this instance but and it's important with people. the employer did not peer review plan for you in this.
11:46 pm

11:47 pm
madness made it right out about the open and the rarity of the gotta get the classical behind them and get it but they do go they did that by now. you never know you don't have the oh yeah. rock. we nearly had warming go lucky. when i'm wrong but because now that unlike. most milan found out if. i can any. jet isn't my get the the mic as you get and at the nasdaq. doesn't but. last but. when i want to again next week the only effect
11:48 pm
you've ever been in you mean anything excellent as a monkey. the african well you can thank you begin to think that while the me. there was a huge group of bollywood when he came last night right after they finished at work and then were notified formally by the employer that they were without status and had been so for 2 weeks according to the woman the employer said that he had never applied for. the what is called the l m i. so they don't understand that by any apply why would he not tell us back in december when he said he applied. a lot of questions they were also which is very surprising to me is that they're adamant that they wanted to go ahead with the lawsuit and now they can now you call the lawyer and so they had to call the lawyer where they cut the up
11:49 pm
the rate there are 2 calls he didn't answer call again and. oh are you writing right. ok you can't kill me here the tape. i'm. going to charge you the boat you know the preacher. who was we applied for an extension for everybody's permit. also. work permit came back here didn't accept. what this means we have to arts. reapply. one more time $6090.00 days to reapply. for 90 days you can. order the other archon. you go back to the division. we can reapply it's an option 1 if you want it without the problem is related if you know they were going. to. i don't know
11:50 pm
that struck me for your money. what's your feeling where you live what you will whether their. home was the only. thing they. did and that is enough he she or $300.00 look and where she was again i don't know. if one of the bad guy could get the point if it's just a process. and we can arrange that whenever you want. ok but you have to make a decision sure going. so one should think about to talk to girls and we can discuss this with the hood ok so what i would want to know is when did you know about that in iowa and then why didn't you tell us as soon as you knew why did you wait 2 weeks and then have you work 2 weeks without status i think not
11:51 pm
everything is being told i understand that you need to eat you need to pay rent you need to pay medical bills and you have found leaves and children back home so i understand that there is a need for money but i just want you to know that if you decide to work for cash somewhere and then the immigration picks you want then i can't do anything. they have been tricked into illegality not just force they've been tricked into illegality your employer tells you that it's ok that you're fine don't worry because don't worry and meanwhile the employer knows very well that the papers that are necessary. to insure your status hasn't even been. absent from files that i think about the steps in the federal government has not provided any support centers any places where my coworkers can go and see what is happening what
11:52 pm
are my rights so they're really left at the mercy of employers and i think that this is by design i don't think that is just an oversight is a misstep and the government hasn't thought about it i think their vulnerability is constructed. this is just one of the groups that we happen to meet they're not special they're not unique and there are multiple hundreds and hundreds of stories similar stories out there. it's not hard to find it's all around this area and all others through this program. in your. employer did not apply to reducing the status and manhood and that is that the beginning of that yesterday. i think that if.
11:53 pm
