As it turns out, the welders working on the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas are not all Italians. The welders are actually working for a sub-contractor to Cimolai,USA,LLC. The B-1 Visa is not allowed to be used for construction work.
There are still 4 foreign workers left working under the B-1 Visitor Visas. There is an active investigation being done by the DOL Wage & Hour Division, Immigrations & Customs Enforcement (ICE), OSHA and the Texas Workforce Commission.
