DunlapHOST
whatever her name was.
DunlapHOST
If a
DunlapHOST
I
Jackie BroylesHOST
don't remember
DunlapHOST
the Labor Secretary's name.
DunlapHOST
It is, but also you should never remember the Labor Secretary's
Jennifer BrineyHOST
All right, so back to the federal level, which is what this is about, this whole podcast.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
We also got a new Secretary of Labor.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
His name is Keith Sonderling.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
Now, he has been the Secretary of Labor for a while.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
He's been the acting Secretary of Labor since April 20th, 4/20, and he was made the official Secretary of Labor on September 30th.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
There are a few red flags with this guy being the Secretary of Labor.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
So, like, first of all, his wife works for the American Forest and Paper Association, which represents businesses in the forest products and, like, paper industries.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
And Keith Sonderling agreed not to participate in certain matters involving that company that his wife works for while she remains employed there, unless he receives an authorization.
Darrell McClainHOST
We'll be back with more on The Darrell McClain Show.
Darrell McClainHOST
We got something coming out of the former, former Labor Secretary's desk hot off the presses, defund Musk.
Darrell McClainHOST
Now, this is coming from Professor, uh, Robert Wright.
Darrell McClainHOST
He says, "Friends, Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed and why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn't be allowed to buy up major media, and why government shouldn't give them huge military contracts.
9 MINS LATER
Darrell McClainHOST
Didn't he lack the proper work authorization during his student internal, uh, internal transition time in the mid-1990s? So that's just something you got to go look up.
Darrell McClainHOST
Basically how Elon played around with his immigration paperwork to still be here.
Darrell McClainHOST
So that was fresh off the press from the former, uh, labor secretary, uh, Robert Reich.
Darrell McClainHOST
Thought it was pretty funny.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
By 1925, immigrants had to complete paperwork and medical examinations before leaving their home countries, and successful applicants received visas from US consular offices, who were responsible for enforcing quotas.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
This left Ellis Island, as the Secretary of Labor in 1924 said, "Looking like a deserted village." And by 1927, a major magazine asked, "Is it time to scrap Ellis Island?" No longer would a small group of inspectors in Ellis Island be tasked with guarding the nation's gates.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
But while Ellis Island's central role in US immigration policy was over, its final fate was still to be decided.

The announcement on Thursday, which included officials from several agencies, was the latest attempt by the administration to seize on purported fraud to argue that exploitation of the country's immigration system and not President Trump's policies has been depriving Americans of jobs, wages, and paths to prosperity.
Chris WilhelmNARRATOR
The Department of Labor is taking historic action by shutting down the pipeline of systemic fraud, the fraud that has flooded our country with foreign labor at the expense of American workers, said Keith Sonderling, the Labor Secretary.
Chris WilhelmNARRATOR
It begins with universities and companies that have turned into visa mills, promoting foreign workers that have lied about their qualifications to take jobs from our beloved American workers.
Chris WilhelmNARRATOR
The administration has not always provided evidence to match its fraud claims, and several of its targets on Thursday disputed its assertions.
