Georgia Resort Hires Legal Workers After Firing Illegal Aliens

A CBS Atlanta investigation into hiring practices at Chateau Elan, a resort in Gwinnett County, Georgia, has led the resort to terminate its contract with its staffing agency and begin filling job vacancies with United States citizens. (CBS Atlanta; Video). The decision to hire legal workers came after CBS Atlanta interviewed an anonymous worker at Chateau Elan who claimed that the resort “hired illegal immigrants.” In addition, CBS Atlanta revealed “court documents showing that illegal immigrants worked at the posh resort.” (Id.; CBS Atlanta; Video).

According to the report, “current and former employees” of Chateau Elan told CBS Atlanta “that dozens of illegal immigrants worked behind the scenes” at the resort, and that management had “fired Americans and replaced them with cheaper illegal help.” (Id.). Faced with the allegations of illegal hiring practices, Chateau Elan CEO Henk Evers sent a letter to CBS Atlanta stating that the investigation had “prompted” the resort “to re-evaluate [its] affiliation with HS Solutions Inc., the outside organization that provides non-guest facing services to Chateau Elan.” That re-evaluation led to the immediate termination of the resort’s contract with the staffing agency. (Id.).

Following up on its initial report, CBS Atlanta found that Chateau Elan’s website listed “job openings for servers, groundskeepers, housekeepers, laundry attendants, cooks and more” and that the resort was planning to hold a week-long job fair. A spokesperson for Chateau indicated that the resort “will be checking everyone’s legal working status before they’re actually hired.” CBS Atlanta interviewed a number of U.S. citizens who expressed excitement at the opportunity to work at Chateau. 19-year old Caleb Samples noted that he had wanted to work at the resort since he was “eight or nine”, and that he was now seeking employment as a groundskeeper. “It’s about time they start cleaning up places like this, and we can start getting jobs,” Samples added.

It's sad that it took being investigated to change their hiring practices.

That's a LIE! We all know that illegals only do the jobs that Americans won't do.

Now CBS should do a report on the staffing agency HS Solutions Inc. I’m sure this is not the only business, they have provided illegal’s.

I think HS Solutions just took the fall for Chateau Elan. An article about HS Solutions and their staffing practices should be coming soon...

That's all dandy but why should they only hire American citizens? There are millions of people who live in America and aren't American citizen. They're legal resident of America. If today they stop hiring illegal immigrants, will tomorrow they'll stop hiring legal immigrants? Will they, they very next day stop hiring Jews and Blacks and Homosexuals? Will they stop hiring Muslims and Hindus? Will they also stop hiring Catholics then?

I would guess that it's a misnomer, most people in the US are rather ignorant of everything immigration and think your wither a Citizen or Illegal.

So all we need now is CBS to do a little investigative reporting on every other company in the U.S.
