Most of the mornings, more than a hundred workers will make their tails for the ferry for jobs on Martha’s Vineyard. But recently, business owners have said that some of these workers had been arrested by immigration and customs agents. The summer season is about to start for many companies in CAPE, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and ice arrests are only part of history. Jeff Parish is a small owner of Cape. He said he was ready to open a new restaurant at the end of the month. “I am a business all year round and it was difficult economically,” said Parish. “Finding the right staff for the staff was really difficult.” Paul Niedzwiecki, who is the head of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, said that he knows how difficult it is for employers to find and keep the good workers for the summer season, a season that brings $ 14,000 and almost $ 3 billion for CAPE COD companies. “Immigration is part of CAPE DNA;” For some employers, it’s like having a good part of your sick working call suddenly. Then, it appears the day you are ready to go to work that you do not have the workforce you need to respond to your commitments. “This spring, glacial agents have stopped immigrants and things like immigrants who use immigrants, I think that trades and landscapers are like immigrants, immerses, the most safe, are the most immigrant, To do, the immerses, the trades and the landscapers as immigrants, the most to immigration, the immerses, the most to do, the most, the evils, the most to do, the immigrants, are the most important, the most, the evils, the evils, the most to do, the immigrants, the evils, the most, the evils, the most, the immigrants, are the most affected. Parish said he was based on summer aid which includes J1 visas for foreign students to help the summer business because his new restaurant should open. “On July 4, you know, the children left school at the end of the month, and on July 4, he is doing so, and hope it is an excellent summer,” said Parish.
