 Poster: A snowHead
|
US immigration officials have blocked the plans of Vail in Colorado to hire 400 foreign ski instructors under a 'cultural exchange programme' - a technique used by enterprises such as Disneyland to comply with visa restrictions that otherwise ban overseas workers.
The resort's needs are urgent this winter, because many regular foreign workers have been blocked from returning to the resort.
This report from Global Visas.
Are you prepared to wear a Mickey Mouse ski suit to work as an instructor in Vail? (I made that question up - it's rubbish)
What cultural contribution could you make to a leading American ski resort?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If this is an example of a news item its one that is very definitely old chip paper as people in the US were telling me about it last January.

Shame for American workers that it is only ski instructors that they block.
Should do the same to many more. Indian IT workers are one example. Border controls have been more or less given up.
Britain has been ordered to follow suit, so we get the same situations occurring.

Quite right. Our investigative team and fact-checking desk have been working on this story for the past 12 months.

You mean we can't employ 400 Argentinian ski instructors at Cairngorm?
