The 2012 PGA golf championship showcased the green links, yellow sands and blue skies at the beachside Kiawah country club in South Carolina.

But it also exposed the political maneuvering that annually brings about 170 low-wage black workers from Jamaica into South Carolina for temporary jobs that could otherwise have gone to local South Carolina workers.

Those low-wage workers helped the club’s financial returns, and indirectly, also helped South Carolina’s Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has long pushed for an immigration rewrite that would import more low-wage foreign workers.

Graham said the Kiawah Golf Club advertised for 600-700 service positions in advance of hosting the PGA,” said a report by the South Carolina website Easley.Patch.com.

“They got 9 [American] applicants for these jobs,” Graham said. “Three of them failed the drug test.

In exchange for easing the import of foreign workers Graham received greater support from the business community, including political donations from Kiawah’s manager and owner.

I wonder what the qualifications would be for this type job. I'm thinking about all the high-school students that have graduated & can't find a job.
Or could it be that Lindsay Graham was more into political donations than helping young Americans find a job?

Slavery is still a live and well at the south Carolina golf clubs. Thank you gramnesty. The club could have hired people if they had paid above slave labor rates.

Actually we have 14 different guest worker programs, many of those people you see with weedeaters along the highway in the summer are guest workers.
