Airbnb vows to be first company to defy Trump and keep employing 'Dreamers'
 
Quote:

The home-sharing startup Airbnb has become the first major company to pledge to keep employing undocumented immigrants known as “Dreamers” after their work permits expire, defying the Trump administration in what would potentially be a breach of employment law.
Quote:

Despite other CEOs’ public promises to support employees targeted by the president, all the other tech companies refused to say if they would allow Dreamers to continue working for them, or did not respond to inquiries.

It’s unclear how American companies could employ immigrants if their work authorization documents became invalid. Papas did not respond to follow-up questions and declined to comment on how many Dreamers Airbnb currently employs.

Not sure how if this would be successful, but it's interesting.

This is a very good gesture, but I worry if it will negatively affect the discussion around DACA. Conservatives tend to emphasize the rule of law, and this is a fuck you to the law.

Not sure if outdated but it sounds totally worth it for Airbnb if they can attract a few more customers.

Penalties for Hiring Undocumented Immigrants

You may be subject to civil and criminal penalties for hiring undocumented immigrant workers. Civil penalties range from a minimum of $375 per unauthorized worker for a first offense up to a maximum of $1,600 per worker for a third or subsequent offense. If you are found to have engaged in a “pattern and practice” of hiring undocumented workers, then you can be fined up to $3,000 per employee and/or imprisoned for up to six months.

Generally if knowingly done so. I can see dreamers and Airbnb circumventing this by forming an llc or self-proprietorship and contracting as an outside agent, protecting Airbnb.
