Corporations get a $2400 tax credit for every
refugee they hire. This needs to be repealed.
The ‘headhunters’ at Jewish Family Service tell companies about the tax benefit of hiring refugees, by Ann Corcoran, 10/6/18.
We’ve
been talking a lot lately about the big bucks involved in the refugee
industry—first with the federal ‘non-profit’ contractors and also with global
corporations hiring refugees and other immigrants
Jewish Family Service of San Diego
offers employment services for corporations.
Thanks
to reader Kevin for directing me to the website of Jewish Family Service San Diego and a page they post for the business
clients.
When
I see this kind of information it reminds me that there is no longer such a
thing as capitalism without the federal government putting a thumb on the
scales for certain businesses, or to benefit certain sharp operators who use
their connections to Senators and Members of Congress to acquire financially
lucrative deals for government contracts.
But
I digress….
Below
is a screenshot of a portion of Jewish
Family Service San Diego website
as they fulfill their role as a ‘headhunter’ helping businesses find
employees—in this case immigrant employees. See the whole list of
benefits, here.
“Benefits
of Hiring a Refugee - Hiring a new American not only brings cultural diversity
to the workplace, but offers many more benefits including: Tax Incentives – By
hiring a refugee or asylee, your company may be eligible to receive the Work
Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) up to $2400 per new adult hire….visit the US
Department of Labor website.
Built-in
screening and support – We prepare our clients to enter the workforce as
informed and culturally aware individuals ….”
See entire posting in original article.
Jewish Family Service of San Diego is a subcontractor of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, see here.
Doing well by doing good!
I
looked around at their financials and got sidetracked as I often do especially
when I see ginormous salaries for non-profit CEOs (at an organization that
receives millions annually from taxpayers)….. maybe a story for another day!
The important point I want to make with this post is that the federal
refugee contractors help refugees/immigrants (their “clients”) find work (in
competition with American workers) to benefit big business while you pay for
it.
