Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.
If you are working without papers, you need to pay attention because we have great news. There is an opportunity, and I would like to know if you are working without papers so we can help you.
Immigration announces that it will no longer conduct mass workplace raids, with exceptions, of course. I tell you why:
During the Trump administration, they drew a lot of attention to raids where they were arresting over 100 people working undocumented in food processors, meat processors of different things, large factories. The advice at the time was, "you're in greater danger if you work in a place where there are large numbers of undocumented workers."
Now, if you work in a place where you are the only undocumented person, it's not really a place where Immigration is going to target. I mean, if they're not going to raid big places they're not going to raid small places either.
Immigration is going to focus on employers who pay immigrants sub-minimum wages, who abuse them, force them to work in inhumane or dangerous conditions, extort them, all kinds of labor abuses.
The labor abuse is nothing new if you are working and do not have your papers. The employer will undoubtedly do everything possible to squeeze you as much as possible, because otherwise, he would hire someone with papers if he wants to pay him what he is entitled to.
So probably, if they are paying you under the table they are paying you a percentage or well below what they are paying legal employees. You are probably being pressured, possibly threatened, extorted or coerced. This whole combination of labor abuses is extremely dangerous, not just uncomfortable for our people.
The easiest way is to pull your papers. Once you have a work permit y social security number They can no longer abuse you, because you would already be on a par with everyone else by being legally employed.
They will pay you the salary you deserve and treat you with respect, because they already know that if they don't treat you well, a labor lawsuit may follow.
It is true, an abuse at work can lead you to a U Visa, which gives you a work permit and eventual residency.
It is documented and published that the Department of Labor signs the certifications required by Immigration in order to apply for the U Visa. Now with Joe Biden's administration you don't have to be afraid to do it. You can do it because they are not going to deport you simply for being undocumented.
Let's be brave, get help, we can help you get a work permit and a U Visa, if you have been forced to work against your will.
