"We know we that we are going to have to take a look at it and hopefully work closely with our cabinet secretary [Janet] Napolitano at Homeland Security to see how we better focus so that these things don't happen and that we avoid them [in the future]," she said. "There were before I came in to my position visas that were permitted under the Bush Administration that we will take a very, very close look at and a very keen eye go through. But rest assured we will take a strong view on that."

There needs to be a MASSIVE OUTCRY to get illegal loving Napolitano to do anything about this!!!! PEOPLE NEED TO ROAR AND ROAR SOME MORE!!!!

Miami Beach Luxury Real Estate -

St. Regis Resort & Residences - Bal Harbour

By: Ines Hegedus-Garcia at 9:59 PM



In the middle of what many are calling a Miami housing slump, there are on-going developments like The St. Regis Resort & Residences in Bal Harbour. Total luxury, the best amenities, and a perfect location for your vacation getaway, indulging lifestyle and elegant living.

Experience the future of Legendary Luxury. St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bal Harbour is a peerless haven of oceanfront elegance; quiet, unwavering taste; and anticipatory service.

Legendary Luxury

St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bal Harbour is a medley of personalized service, exquisite design and unmatched amenities that create a lifestyle like no other on Florida’s Gold Coast. Just steps away from the famous Bal Harbour Shops and minutes from the whirlwind energy and Art Deco magic of South Beach, St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bal Harbour is a world of compelling amenities and impeccable standards.

This Miami Beach Luxury Real Estate project is currently under construction and the site is where the known Sheraton Bal Harbour that attracted people from all over the world because of its magnificent beaches, once stood - 9 acres of stunning oceanfront property. I feel a bit nostalgic about this project because of the fond memories I have at The Sheraton, but know The St. Regis will do those memories more than justice. Also good for you to know that the project is self-financed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and The Related Group, which makes the estimated completion date of “end of 2010″, very believable. The location is 9701 Collins Avenue, Florida 33154.

The pricing is high, no questions about it. According to a St. Regis’ sales representative it is 2-3 times what everybody else is, but justified by the land, amenities and because it is a “trophy propertyâ€

If I am not mistaken, it was dear GWB that signed one of his last executive orders telling companies that they did not need to advertise jobs available to Americans, before using the H visas.

I agree that qualified American Workers should always be the first choice! However, some of the statements in the article are incorrect. H2B is a good program that really does work when the laws are followed. In this situation, the state agency in Florida that “certifiesâ€

St. Regis Project and Contractor Catch Eye of Obama Administration


Hilda Solis, the newly confirmed Secretary of Labor in the Obama Adminstration, has asked for a review of how Mexican sheet metal workers were given visas to work on the St. Regis Hotel project in South Florida.

"We are currently reviewing that situation," Solis said during a town hall meeting in Miami.

Solis, a former member also revealed for the first time what visas were issued by Bush’s Department of Labor to CYVSA International.

According to Solis, "they actually came in through what they call an E Visa."

The company had applied for H2B Visas for the workers and had actually received approval from both the state of Florida and the U.S. Department of Labor for H2B Visas even though H2B Visas are only supposed to be issued if there are no American workers available to do the job. There are currently more than a thousand unemployed sheet metal workers in South Florida who were shut out of the project by labor officials from the Bush Administration who were interested in realizing lower costs for employers rather than protect the interests of workers.

"We know we that we are going to have to take a look at it and hopefully work closely with our cabinet secretary [Janet] Napolitano at Homeland Security to see how we better focus so that these things don't happen and that we avoid them [in the future]," she said. "There were before I came in to my position visas that were permitted under the Bush Administration that we will take a very, very close look at and a very keen eye go through. But rest assured we will take a strong view on that."

"This is not a union or non-union issue," said Larry Stewart, business manager for the local sheet metal workers' union. "This is an American worker issue. And it is outrageous that the U.S. government and the state of Florida allowed those visas to be issued and those people be allowed to come here when so many of our people are out of work."
