Medicalodges Inc.: President Barack Obama

Foreign Workers Dept: But employers that struggle to fill those jobs washing dishes, cleaning hotels, caring for the elderly could soon get help now that business groups and labour unions have agreed on a plan to allow thousands of new low-skilled foreign workers into the workforce, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The new program, called the "W'' visa, is crucial for companies like Medicalodges Inc., a Kansas-based company that wants foreign workers to help run its chain of nursing homes and assisted-living facilities and perform in-home care for the elderly and people with developmental disabilities and WASHINGTON - As desperate as unemployed Americans are to find work, there are still some jobs that many would never consider applying for because they are seen as too dirty, too demanding or just plain unappealing. The deal, which still needs final agreement from lawmakers, is one of the last major hurdles to completing immigration overhaul legislation this year, one of President Barack Obama's highest priorities. It is expected to be part of a broader measure that would address the status of the 11 million immigrants who either arrived in the U.S. illegally or overstayed their visas.
