You're right, these jobs should all start coming with 'for americans only' disclaimers. To ensure compliance, they should begin collecting birth certificates, as well as skin and hair samples, and have to do a timed reading of a passage in War and Peace! This will ensure that those with fluency and an acceptable american appearance and accent are the only ones who make the cut! God knows I dont want to lose my job and get evicted because some russian study abroad student fooled us with his perfect english and weaseled his way into a waiter gig up at the ski lodge!

This is no more than a racket. Cheap
Labor supplied by brokers in their country of origin.
It's all bull**** in the guise of legality. And yes it's legal, barely.
But preying the unfortunate for profit is always distasteful. And this type of racketeering should be regulated sternly.

Ski resorts employ a lot of foreigners during the winter. They have to do something in the summer too I guess.

Sounds like Avon, NC; a vacation town with quite a lot of foreign exchange students working low-skill service jobs while they enjoy summer on the beach. One of the grocery stores there has nothing but Russian and Polish exchange students working the registers; it makes me wonder if the grocery store is complying with labor laws.
