Summary

Uline, owned by Trump donors Liz and Dick Uihlein, allegedly uses Mexican workers on tourist and B1 visas to staff U.S. warehouses, according to a Guardian investigation. Experts say this practice is likely illegal.

The workers perform regular warehouse tasks, not training, and are paid less than U.S. counterparts.

Despite supporting Trump’s anti-immigration policies, the Uihleins profit from exploiting immigrant labor, underscoring hypocrisy.

Immigration advocates criticize the program as labor exploitation that undermines wages for all workers.

Uline and the Uihleins declined to comment on the allegations.
