The U.S. hospitality industry continues to face the challenge of dealing with the ever-growing impact and extent of globalization and the development of world markets. This ongoing trend has created a situation where U.S. employers are faced with an increasing demand for skilled employees with various skill sets; forcing many employers to look to non-U.S. citizens to fill vacancies. Unfortunately, the small minority of employers who choose to fill these needs by illegally hiring undocumented foreign workers certainly get the majority of the attention (both from the media and from the federal agencies charged with enforcing immigration laws). However, most employers work diligently in attempting to comply with the law and make sure that all of their employees are authorized to work in the United States. These employers face a U.S. immigration system that is, at its best, confusing and inefficient and, at its worst, completely at odds with the realities of business operations and needs.
