travelling worker in the bush

British backpacker Ellie came to Australia on holiday. 3 years later, she’s working at a cattle station.

In January 2019, Ellie Daborn came to Australia for a holiday. The British backpacker was exploring and working simultaneously – and having a ball doing both. But eight months into her trip, Ellie's visa requirements meant she had to do three months of farm work in order to stay longer in Australia.

So off she went to the Northern Territory with her partner to start her time in agriculture. 

Initially, Ellie wasn't sure what the Top End would entail for her. But her experience there led to a passion for the outback – and she hasn't looked back since. 

Watch: Nobody Speaks To Me Like Mamamia. Post continues below.

Speaking to Mamamia , Ellie said that at the eight-month mark of being Down Under, she realised both her and her partner wanted to stay longer. But of course, that came with a catch.

In order to extend their stay, the couple had to embark on regional work of some kind, such as fruit picking or farm work. And so they decided for the next 88 days to try their hand at some farm work in order to get a second-year visa. 

So when Ellie and her partner arrived at Newcastle Waters – a working town and cattle station in the middle of the Northern Territory , she initially felt quite nervous.

The Oscars In Superficial Detail

"When I arrived in Australia, I think because so many Brits have this perception of Sydney and Melbourne as being bustling cities and funky lifestyles, I didn't know what to expect in the outback. At this point I was 23, and was nervous to go somewhere that I didn't know much about," she said to Mamamia . 

"The first few days, my partner and I were of the mindset 'let's just get these 88 mandatory days done and then go back to Sydney'. But after just a few weeks, we both realised we had a love for the outback – it was so different to anything either of us had experienced in the UK."

Ellie really did love it, because she's remained ever since. And people online love watching her day-to-day living at a cattle station, building herself a strong TikTok platform with over 40,000 followers.

As for what a regular day in the life looks like for Ellie, it's all early mornings, hard work, and lots of new experiences. 

Ellie is a station cook at the cattle station which has 41 members of staff, plus at any given time around five to ten contractors. And Ellie is the person that cooks for them all. 

The day starts bright and early at around 4am. The first thing is cooking up a big breakfast for the workers which is typically served around 5am. 

Next on the list is 'smoko', which usually involves a sweet treat or two for around 9:30am. Recipe highlights that Ellie's shown on TikTok include biscoff blondies, bagels, carrot cake cheesecake and morning muffins. Of course being so far away from main town centres with supermarkets, Ellie has had to be pretty resourceful and handy with recipes, grocery orders and accessible ingredients. But it's all a part of the job description. 

"The workers get quite a big feed throughout the day, but it makes sense when you consider the hard work they do. For most of the guys, they have about four big meals a day," Ellie said.

After all that, there is indeed more cooking for Ellie to do. But lunchtime is more of a 'help yourself' affair, where there's a fully stocked fridge with plenty of leftovers and sandwich fillings to be had. 

So for the afternoon, Ellie then organises supper/the evening meal which is served at around 7pm. 

And Ellie has showcased lots of dinner recipes on social media too, including nachos, lentil salads, salsas, beef wellingtons, curried sausages and even a laksa or two.

By 9pm, it's bedtime. 

"My grandma used to work as a chef, and so I always grew up in the kitchen. I remember spending time with her baking stuff given both my parents worked full time. I also loved making the evening meal for my family, and as a teen I would be the one to cook dinner," Ellie said to Mamamia . 

But understandably, cooking for 41 people is a whole other ball game. And it's one that takes lots of forward planning and resourcefulness to ensure no food wastage. 

"At university I studied nothing to do with food, but actually business studies. So when the job became available to be the cook at the cattle station, I figured I would just fill in for a couple of weeks. But it turned out that I loved it, and nearly two years have gone by now."

There are some things that Ellie isn't crazy about when it comes to outback life, one of them being the heat given she's used to the chilly British weather. And in Newcastle Waters, sometimes during the wet season, temperatures can get to nearly 50 degrees. 

Of course Ellie misses her family back home too.

But she says that working on the cattle station and given it's so far away from big towns, the people she works with have become like a second family to her. And that's something she cherishes.

"It's definitely like a community vibe here – we are a bigger station than others, so it's more like a really small town but I've made friends for life here, and they are really my family away from home. But the other thing about the outback that I love is the remoteness in itself – to get away from the 'hustle and bustle', not being stuck in traffic. It's peaceful with the stars in the sky and the scenery."

Originally, Ellie decided to make a TikTok account in order to show her family back at home what she was up to in the outback. 

"I saw a few 'day in the life' videos and thought they were super interesting, so I decided to make one, put the video up, switched off my phone for the night and 12 or so hours later, I found that lots of people had viewed it," Ellie shared.

Just from that first video, Ellie had gained over 800,000 views and 80,000 likes.

"I was shocked. But it made me think maybe there's a gap in the market for this sort of content, and people want to know more about what life in rural Australia is like. And they've been really supportive and enthusiastic to know what happens at the cattle station."

Listen to No Filter: Ben Crowe knows how you can find your purpose. Post continues after audio.

As for what the future holds, Ellie says she hopes to see more of Australia. 

"Just last week I actually got my visa approved to stay another year here in Australia, which is amazing. I think my partner and I will stay here at the cattle station for a little longer since we're enjoying it so much, and then maybe do some more travelling. I actually haven't been able to see much of this country and I know there is more to see."

And from what she's learned on the job, Ellie says she now has a wealth of knowledge she can bring to future roles too. 

"The time management skills I have learned are relatable to any industry. And although sometimes it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day, I now know how to be more organised, and I think that's something that people in this sector are particularly good at," she said to Mamamia . 

Ellie also has a much better understanding of what the agriculture industry looks like – arguably a far greater understanding than what many Australians in the city would know. 

"There is so much you can do in the agriculture industry. From an outsider's perspective, you think it's just farmers, animals and lots of physical work. And part of it does look like that. But I've now realised there are so many things you can do, so many skills you can develop and the experience of working on a cattle station is unlike any other. And in my experience, I've never felt more welcomed into an industry like this one," Ellie said. 

"The experiences I have had will stay with me for a long time. And I'm thankful for that."

Behind the Song: Dixie Chicks, “Travelin’ Soldier”

by Rick Moore March 4, 2020, 5:00 pm

“Travelin’ Soldier”

Videos by American Songwriter

Written by Bruce Robison

American songs about combat soldiers coming home, or not coming home, have existed since long before the music business as we know it (think “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” from the Civil War). From early sheet music to today’s digital downloads, such songs have been big sellers because of the genuine emotion and sentiment behind the lyrics and melodies, and because so many people have lost their loved ones to war. One of the best of these songs is “Travelin’ Soldier” by the Dixie Chicks.

Home

While the Chicks themselves are good writers, they’ve also recorded a lot of good songs written by others. This was the case with “Travelin’ Soldier,” composed by Texas singer-songwriter Bruce Robison. Robison had recorded the song himself in the 1990s to little fanfare, but he hit the jackpot when the Chicks recorded it for their Home album in 2002. “Travelin’ Soldier” soon climbed to the top of the country charts as a single.

A song about a lovelorn teenage girl waiting for the return of the young Army soldier she barely knows, Robison paints a vivid image of a small-town Friday night at the local high school football field when the girl learns of her soldier’s fate: One Friday night at a football game/The Lord’s Prayer said and the anthem sang/A man said folks would you bow your head/For the list of local Vietnam dead/Crying all alone under the stands/Was the piccolo player in the marching band/And one name read and nobody really cared/But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair . The song really is a mini-movie, and Robison’s visual lyrics still bring tears to the eyes of a lot of listeners with this song.

“Travelin’ Soldier” was more than just a well-written and emotional piece of work. It was recorded by the Chicks while the U.S. was sending young people to fight in Afghanistan, so it was also timely, even though Robison had actually written it about a Vietnam War soldier. But since there’s always a war somewhere, it would have been relevant whenever it was cut. Then, just as the song was climbing the charts to number one, Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines expressed her displeasure with then-President George W. Bush from the concert stage because of his pro-war stance. Country radio stations pulled “Travelin’ Soldier” from their playlists over Maines’ remarks, and within weeks the song had disappeared. The career of the Dixie Chicks went into decline, and while they’ve never completely gone away, things have never been the same for them either.

And now the Dixie Chicks are back with a new song, “Gaslighter,” and Bruce Robison, a journeyman writer and performer if there ever was one (he’s still at it, often with wife Kelly Willis), hopefully got good mailbox money and some satisfaction from touching a lot of people with a great song.

Introducing the Women Shaping Travel Right Now

By CNT Editors

How should we use our power, once we have it? As the CEO and founder of El Camino Travel , a company that organizes small group trips and builds community among women travelers, I am always thinking about what guests want out of their travels—and what direction we, as an industry, are headed. It's 2024, yet the CEOs of most major travel companies are still men , dictating the trajectory of a marketplace in which women account for 85% of travel planning decisions and spend $125 billion annually on trips. It’s no doubt the reason so many of our community members tell me they have struggled to find experiences that speak to them in the marketplace.

But this year’s Women Who Travel Power List , which I was previously honored on, is a vivid reminder that the people actually driving the wider conversation around travel, and the many ways we choose to define it, are by and large women. Change doesn’t only come from the corner office. It is inspired by influencers like Charlotte Simpson, best known for her IG account @travelingblackwidow , who is redefining the societal narrative about finding joy as a single traveler in later years. It’s model and activist Quannah Chasinghorse (Hän Gwich’in and Sičangu/Oglala Lakota), whose efforts for Native land rights and environmental protection hold me accountable to critically reassess our impact at El Camino, on both the places we go and the people we meet. There are also women who use their knowledge of the world to create greater cultural understanding. Take singer Kali Uchis, for example, whose music beautifully bridges American and Latin American cultures, blending sounds that are both exotic and familiar, depending on who you ask. I imagine a first-time visitor to Colombia , my parent’s homeland, finding comfort in the rhythms they’ve come to know through her songs.

There are also women who underscore the fact that travel transcends leisure. I think of Bisan Owda, the Palestinian travel creator, whose content was once focused on joyfully celebrating her culture—but who has now, out of necessity, become a civic journalist offering the world a look into her current reality in Gaza.

These women are changing the tides of a once gate-kept industry from so many different directions. They are the ones who get me fired up about what the next decade of travel could look like. In 2024, we aren’t just dreaming of a more representative future; it’s being built up, all around us, by the most impressive of women. — Katalina Mayorga

Lolá Ákínmádé

“If I could sum up every single thing I do with just three words, it's, I see you ,” says award-winning author and travel photographer Lolá Ákínmádé . The Nigerian-American-Swedish storyteller, currently based in Sweden , didn’t see women who looked like her when she entered the travel media industry 17 years ago—she has since made it her mission to foster cultural connections and create community among those who have also felt excluded from mainstream travel narratives. From photographing Inuit mushers and their huskies in Greenland for National Geographic Traveller to writing novels about navigating the world as a Black woman, Ákínmádé’s work showcases the beauty of the world while addressing important social issues such as racism, classism, tokenism, and fetishization. “A lot of the stories I write are about what it feels like to live in my skin in a place where I'm a minority, a visible minority,” she says. Ákínmádé is also intentional about appearing in high-profile publications and platforms as a speaker and photography expert , and adamant that she is visible for others, particularly people of color who may want to follow in her footsteps. “I’m a big believer of creating your own table instead of begging to be at somebody else's,” says Ákínmádé. ”I'm also a big believer in shaking tables where your narratives are being crafted without your voice.” Through her Geotraveler Media Academy , she mentors aspiring storytellers and leads intimate photography workshops where she can show people ways of seeing the world that honor the places they delve into. Her popular Aurora workshop, for example, takes travelers to northern Sweden to learn about reindeer herding culture from the Indigenous Sámi , whose deep connection to the environment and stories of their homeland create meaningful experiences for guests. “It's not about consumerism,” she says, “but traveling with intention, photographing the places we visit with respect, and making sure that we're fully acknowledging the people we interact with.” — Katherine Gallardo

Katia Barros

When Katia Barros created Rio de Janeiro -based fashion brand Farm Rio 25 years ago, she was struck by the lack of color she saw in the clothing around her. “Amazingly, Brazilian fashion was very linked to international collections,” she says. “I immediately started adding color—it has so much to do with our culture, our geography, and our personality as a country.” In the decades since, bright maxi dresses, floral blouses, and skirts with punchy prints have defined Farm Rio as the ultimate vacation attire. “When you [travel], you allow yourself to do more, even in how you dress.” As Farm Rio has expanded beyond Brazil (its first US store opened in New York in 2019) Barros has taken the country’s “party culture and joy” to new audiences and locales. In 2020, Farm Rio partnered with Levi’s on painted denim jackets and jeans designed for city adventures. Then, in 2022, the brand launched its first-ever ski collection , with hot pink jumpsuits and toucan-adorned snow pants. “In Brazil, the place to have fun is the beach, but in other countries, you go to the snow,” says Barros. “It’s about bringing this feeling of joyfulness to many places.” (Barros got “hooked” on skiing while researching the collection.) Now, Farm Rio’s lines are sold in 39 countries. As global expansion continues, with new stores in Los Angeles and Paris on the horizon (both set to open this May), Barros hasn’t forgotten her roots. In January, Farm Rio launched a collaboration with the iconic Copacabana Palace for the hotel’s 100th anniversary; in February, Farm Rio launched a new capsule celebrating seven years of partnership with the Yawanawa community in the Amazon , through which 180 women have contributed their artisanry to the brand’s jewelry collection. “Farm Rio is more than a lifestyle,” Barros says. “It embodies and represents our culture.” — Megan Spurrell (interview translation by Tatiana Cury)

Quannah ChasingHorse

There aren’t enough hyphens to do Quannah ChasingHorse (Hän Gwich’in and Sičangu/Oglala Lakota) justice. She’s a model, actress, Indigenous rights advocate, climate warrior, and land and water protector who’s urging all of us to be more intentional in how we move about the world. Hailing from Eagle Village, Alaska, the 21-year-old activist encourages globetrotters to ask themselves: “Whose land am I on?” The question should prompt visitors to learn about the history and current events of any given destination, particularly if it’s an Indigenous community. “It’s super important for travelers to learn about, not just the people living there, but also the environmental crises and other issues going on—to ensure they’re not taking up space in a way that perpetuates harm to that community,” she explains. “For instance, Alaska is going through some of the worst climate catastrophes [in the state’s history], with extreme weather that’s devastating our lands, our waters, our animals, our communities, and our economy.” In some cases, ChasingHorse says, travelers might determine upon researching that the most responsible decision is not visiting those places at all. ChasingHorse uses her vast platform across fashion, entertainment, and environmentalism to uplift Native stories, hold brands accountable, and remind us of our shared humanity. “No human is less than another; we all deserve to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and live a happy, healthy life,” she says. “With everything that’s happening in the world right now, I’d love to see more people stand in solidarity with voices that need to be heard, with people who need to be seen.” Her work will continue: ChasingHorse just served as co-chair for the annual Green Carpet Fashion Awards and narrated and executive produced the new film Bad River about the namesake tribe’s battle for its land, culture, identity, and Lake Superior (out March 15 in select AMC Theaters). Says ChasingHorse: “We need to remain loving, compassionate, and open-minded about other people’s perspectives.” — Kate Nelson

Cynthia Chavez Lamar

When Cynthia Chavez Lamar (San Felipe Pueblo/Hopi/Tewa/Navajo) became director of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in 2022, she made history as the first Native American woman to head a Smithsonian museum. Since then, she’s been deepening relationships with tribal communities whose cultures are represented in the institution’s collections. “We want audiences to learn from Native artists, leaders, and cultural bearers just how meaningful a piece of pottery or a cradleboard is,” says the curator and scholar, who’s been named one of the most powerful women in Washington, D.C. “It’s so important that audiences recognize that Indigenous peoples are very much part of the fabric of American and global society.” NMAI is leading the national charge when it comes to repatriation and shared stewardship of tribal artifacts. “There’s still a lot of work to be done, but we’re coming at it with the mindset that it’s a very different day and age [regarding] ideas of ownership and care,” Chavez Lamar says. She’s looking forward to this summer’s Smithsonian Folklife Festival focused on Indigenous Voices of the Americas (complete with cultural programming, musical performances, cooking demos, and more), when she hopes to see the National Mall filled with Native visitors—just like it was for the 2022 dedication of the National Native American Veterans Memorial , one of her proudest accomplishments. If NMAI museum goers come away with just one lesson, she asks that it be an understanding that Native peoples “have been part of American history since the very beginning, even before written history.” —K.N.

Aditi Dugar

Growing up in a large multigenerational family in Mumbai , Aditi Dugar has long known what an elaborate kitchen operation looks like. “I had 15 first cousins, so every meal was like a catering event,” she says. It was handy prep for when, in her twenties, she swapped a career in finance for food. “I’m a hustler,” she says, recounting how, without formal training, she pressed her way into an apprenticeship at Le Gavroche in London , then persuaded her family to let her run a boutique catering company (“non-vegetarian food in a Marwari household is a sensitive subject”). When Dugar came across a disused space in a textile mill compound in Mumbai, the seeds of a new kind of dining destination were sown. After 18 months of traveling across India to meet farmers, she and Prateek Sadhu, an exciting young chef, opened Masque in 2016 with an ingredients-first approach combined with a New Nordic-style multi-sensory dining experience—all served via a chef’s tasting menu. “The first few years were great because diners had never seen anything like it,” she says. But when Sadhu left in 2022, Dugar—intuiting another shift in the Indian palette—saw an opportunity to double down on regional cooking. A year later, with chef Varun Totlani at its helm, Masque topped India’s restaurants on Asia’s 50 Best , making Dugar the first Indian woman restaurateur to feature on it. “We combine things like seaweed harvested from Goa with seasonal green ponkh from Gujrat for our spin on bhel,” says Dugar. In January this year, Masque took to the road, with a pop-up at Nahargarh Fort on the fringes of the Ranthambore forest, and then in a mango farm in Chennai, where 100 diners sat at a single wooden table for a dinner by India’s top chefs, including Totlani. “Everyone says fine-dining Indian restaurants aren’t valuable investments and they’re wrong,” says Dugar, “But Masque is more than that: it’s a platform to showcase India—and there’s an exciting future in that.” — Arati Menon

Laila Gohar

Just as many travelers pick up souvenirs, Cairo -born artist Laila Gohar gathers morsels of creative fuel as she moves through the world. “Inspiration is not a linear process—it’s sort of like a web of visual and nonvisual cues, and those that resonate leave a little flash or impression on the brain.” The tease of crochet in a restaurant check-holder in Porto, Portugal , for example, might later influence a collection of delightfully bizarre housewares for Gohar World (the eccentric tableware brand she founded with her sister, Nadia), or an installation of eight-foot-tall cakes filling the garden of the Prince de Galles, a Luxury Collection Hotel , in Paris , part of her role as Global Explorer for The Luxury Collection . “When you travel, you have heightened senses,” says Gohar. “I feel like you become a sponge, ready for new experiences.” As much as travel energizes Gohar, her often absurdist designs are leaving an imprint on the places she visits, too. In addition to Paris, she worked with artisans in Kyoto on a barware collection for The Luxury Collection. She also recently completed an installation for Mexico City Art Week, featuring a room of photographs layered with food items, and is headed to Milan in April to lend her touch to design fair Salone Mobile. The world of Gohar doesn’t end there: “My dream is to design an amusement park,” she muses, describing an Epcot-like experience where instead of moving through various countries, you’d explore further afield, like the moon or sun. In the more immediate future, Gohar and her partner, chef and restaurateur Ignacio Mattos, hope to fuse their hospitality know-how into an experience set on this planet. “We dream about buying a felucca , a traditional ancient Egyptian boat, and transforming it into a hotel,” she says. “A little bit Orient Express , but we’d lean more into Egyptian history, and there’d be dining experiences in remote towns along the Nile , where there’s nothing around and it feels surreal and magical.” May we all look forward to fighting for a booking. —M.S.

Emily Henry

For bestselling novelist Emily Henry, the setting comes first. “Even before I was publishing, when I was trying to write fantasy, I would have a world that I was excited about, but like, no plot whatsoever,” she says. Her days as an unpublished author are long gone of course. Henry’s first adult romance novel, Beach Read , came out in 2020 and follows its romance-author protagonist in a summer bet with her hunky neighbor (a literary fiction author) to convince him of the genre’s merit—a cheeky meta-commentary of sorts about her own writing. Since then, she’s published at an impressively steady clip: People We Meet on Vacation in 2021; Book Lover s in 2022; and Happy Place in 2023. Her books are set in the types of places most people dream about on gray afternoons at the office: North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains ; the rocky coast of Maine ; sun-drenched Palm Springs . If you’ve stepped foot in a bookstore or cast your eye down a row of hotel sun loungers recently, you’ve seen her impact. Henry has sold millions of copies, and at least three of her titles are contributing to Hollywood’s burgeoning romcom-aissance. A midwesterner, Henry and her protagonists often share some on-paper similarities—hovering around 30, in some way connected to publishing—and her new novel, Funny Story , is set in Waning Bay, Michigan, “a fictional Traverse City.” When she was writing it last year, she rented an Airbnb and “really lived there” (the real TC, that is): “There's a reference in the book that [is] based on a bait and tackle shop that is also a barber shop,” says Henry, who was introduced to it by YA writer Brittany Cavallaro and then “tweaked” the details so “it’s not exactly the same thing.” It’s a perfect illustration of how Henry lands on her locations, however fictionalized: “It has to be a place I've traveled a lot. What's drawn me there initially is just that I know people there and I [visit] them,” she says. “Then they get to play tour guide.” —Nora Biette-Timmons

Shay Mitchell

When Canadian actor and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell mocked up the original design of Béis’s signature Weekender bag on an airplane napkin, she couldn’t have imagined it was the first step towards growing a $120 million company. Mitchell, who rose to prominence via roles in Pretty Little Liars and You , founded Béis in 2018 with just five employees, after seeing a gap in the market for luggage that was equally fashionable, functional, and affordable. “My bag shouldn’t cost as much as the trip I’m taking,” she says. Mitchell now oversees a team of 30 (mostly women) employees and has become a leading figure in the luggage space—popularizing smart features like built-in weight indicators and dedicated shoe compartments, and winning over the next generation of travelers on TikTok and Instagram; even personalities like Alix Earle and Hailey Bieber have given Béis their stamp of approval. But for Mitchell, it was never just about designing luggage. “We want people to get out there in the world—no matter where it is—and you don’t always need a plane ticket to do so.” What started as traditional duffels and suitcases has now expanded to sustainably-made shopping totes for the farmer’s market, chic diaper bags for parents, and kid-friendly rollers , the latter of which was inspired by her two young daughters and their growing travel needs. Looking ahead, traveling to meet consumers in real life is a priority when it comes to maintaining Béis’s success, whether that's across the US and Canada, or to the Philippines, where her mother was born. Unlike other celebrity founders, though, Mitchell prefers to keep her high-profile name out of the Béis branding. “The products will speak for themselves,” she says. — Meaghan Kenny

In her Instagram dispatches, Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda often greets her 4.3 million followers with the same words: “Hey everyone, this is Bisan from Gaza; we're still alive.” Amid Israel's ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip, her refrain serves as a reminder of the steep risks local reporters face to share unfiltered accounts of what is unraveling on the ground. The reality is stark; at least 90 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the war began, making it the deadliest war for reporters since recording commenced in 1992, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. While some of Owda's peers, including Motaz Azaiza , Plestia Alaqad, and Wael Dahdouh, have ultimately left Gaza for safety or medical care, the 25-year-old remains. Reporting from bombed-out buildings , makeshift shelters , and the hallways of overcrowded hospitals , Owda offers a vivid portrayal of daily life in Gaza, documenting the challenges facing Palestinian doctors and exploring the mental health impacts of war, as well as the disturbing realities children have been forced to contend with; her work has also sought to show the resilience of Palestinian mothers. Many have come to know Owda for her war reporting, but before the war she was a filmmaker and youth activist committed to advancing gender equality in Palestine. She vlogged about travel and culture, too, channeling her appreciation for the ancient Arab tradition of oral storytelling (known as Hakawati) in the TV show Hakawatya . Pre-war Instagram posts—everything from a look inside Palestine’s first women-only boxing academy to selfies on the beach at sunset—show a hopeful , curly-haired Owda, full of ambition, curiosity about the world, and a deep love for Gaza. “We still have the rain, the sun, and the sea, and of course, the rainbow," she shared in a February 3 post . "I hope we are so near to a permanent ceasefire and to a return to our homes, our places, to a rebuilding of our hopes and dreams." — Zahra Hankir

Amanda Silverman

It was a New York Times Styles story about the cultural impact of Snoop Dogg sporting a Tommy Hilfiger rugby shirt on Saturday Night Live that initially piqued Amanda Silverman’s interest in publicity. “I just thought it was fascinating the power that artists have when they are in the press, on culture and fashion and politics,” she says over the phone from her New York office. Silverman has since spent two decades turning this curiosity into a booming business as the co-founder and co-chief executive officer of The Lede Company , one of Hollywood's most powerful PR firms. With a highly-coveted roster of clients including Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Amy Schumer, Penélope Cruz, and Pharrell Williams (to name a few), Silverman is on the road “all the time” as their right-hand woman, guiding high-profile talent through interviews and media appearances. This requires her managing some of the most complicated travel schedules imaginable—it’s not uncommon for Silverman to hop from New York City with Pharrell to the Super Bowl with Rihanna. With high-profile clients constantly hitting red carpets or on tour, it can be “hectic” especially if she’s several continents away. “When you're in Asia or Europe, you're working New York, LA hours, so all through the night,” she explains. But work has also allowed her to have some unforgettable experiences, like accompanying her client and native South African Charlize Theron to locations where her foundation The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project helps with sexual and reproductive health advocacy. “For part of it, Oprah was there doing a piece on the work she was doing and it was just so impressive,” she says. “We went on a safari , it was nothing I've ever experienced.” With “90 percent” of her excursions related to running her company, Silverman has carefully set aside three vacations a year with her husband and two kids—like hiking biking and swimming in Mykonos or visiting Anguilla with family friends. This year, she’s venturing to Costa Rica . With each excursion, she tries to prioritize taking a tech break. “It only makes you better at your job.” — Ilana Kaplan

Charlotte Simpson

Recently, Charlotte Simpson was hiking alone on Angel Island in California when she spotted a bear. She credits years of solo travel for the fact that she didn’t pass out on the spot. Instead, she made a plan: Play dead. But as she continued walking, Simpson realized the “deadly predator” was actually just a rotting tree. On a call from her home in Indianapolis she recalls laughing at herself in the moment, then feeling empowered. “Every time I take a trip there's something else I discover about myself,” she says. “I think it's the ultimate in self-care and self-discovery.” Simpson has come a long way as a traveler: A retired special education teacher and guidance counselor, she was once entirely dependent on her husband, Roy, as a travel partner. While she did almost all of the family’s trip planning, he was the one who seized any opportunity for an adventure: “I’d be like, you go ahead and do whatever scary adventure, I’ll sit here, have a glass of wine and watch you.” After Roy passed away in 2008, shortly after they had both retired, Simpson slowly found the confidence to explore the world on her own. Now, the woman who was once happy to let her husband lead chases the adventures herself: Hot air balloon rides over the Maasai Mara in Kenya , zip lining through a St. Lucia rainforest, and meditating with a Buddhist monk in South Korea , among them. She documents all of this via her Instagram handle @TravelingBlackWidow , which Simpson says brought “a whole new joy” to her life since starting the account in 2014. It has since ballooned into a community of 27.5K followers. In an arena dominated by millennial and Gen Z content creators, Simpson’s platform speaks to travelers who are often left out of the conversation. Midlife and older women see themselves pursuing bigger lives as a result of her travels, frequently seeking solo travel advice in the comments; younger followers show her posts to their parents, especially those who’ve recently lost a spouse. “Many have said they admire my energy and my gutsiness,” says Simpson, who has visited all seven continents and reached her 100 th country, Malta , in 2023. They are traits she’s embracing and hoping will inspire others—even as she continues to battle her own fears and shyness. “There's a whole big world out there and so many women just aren't getting what it has to offer.” — Heather Greenwood Davis

Anomien Smith

The work of Johannesburg -based architect Anomien Smith aims to honor that which came first. “Our infrastructure should help nature shine,” says Smith, the creative director and principal architect at sustainably-minded hospitality design firm, Luxury Frontiers , which earned its reputation creating Africa’s leading safari camps , and partnering with brands like Wilderness on destinations where the design never scars the land or distracts from the environment. At Puku Ridge in Zambia , an artful assemblage of timber respects the natural flows of the area’s floodplain. Wilderness Usawa , in the Serengeti , has canvas tents crafted with mesh walls for cooling—and fully immersive views of the Great Migration —creating the sensation of sleeping on the open savannah. But for Smith, the physical environment is just one influence. “Sustainability means cultural preservation,” she says. “It means making sure heritage is maintained.” She takes cues from the local vernacular: For a current project in the Middle East , she is using the stone materials seen in endemic shepherd huts and angling her structures to catch mountain breezes. “You need to let the site guide you, and pay attention to the building practices that have been there for ages,” she says. And in an industry where luxury and responsibility are increasingly synonymous, Smith is bringing this uniquely African design ethos—one with conservation in its DNA—to the global stage. Recent projects include Camp Sarika at Utah’s singular Amangiri , where an elevated roof creates a passive cooling system; Mexico’s award-winning Four Seasons Naviva , made of renewable materials like bamboo; the all-recyclable canvas tents at Costa Rica’s leading eco retreat, Nayara Tented Camp (word is that owner Leo Ghitis admired his safari set up in Botswana so much, he insisted Smith and her team design for him back home); with more projects in the Americas, including inside Virginia’s pristine Shenandoah National Park ( Simply Shenandoah , coming 2026), on the horizon. “Our model is protection first, hospitality second,” she says. “I believe that is the way forward.” — Erin Florio

On her top-charting album Orquídeas , released in January, the Grammy-winning soulstress Kali Uchis offers a sonic first class passage through Latin America—using her beloved Colombia, and elements of Cuban son, reggaetón, and merengue, as a launch pad. Born in Alexandria, Virginia, to Colombian immigrants, 30-year-old Uchis spent much of her childhood in transit between the US and her parents’ hometown of Pereira, an Andean city at the center of the Coffee Axis. As a teen, Uchis played saxophone in her high school jazz band, while hopping from rasta to punk parties with her cousins during visits to Colombia. It was in that liminal state of in-between, she says, where her creativity began to flourish. “I got to experience both worlds,” the artist said in a 2018 interview for Rolling Stone . “That was really nice to have as a kid, and I would definitely want to give that to my own kid—the ability to have multiple places to call home.” Citing inspiration from timeless Latina icons who sang in English and Spanish—namely Shakira, Christina Aguilera, and La Lupe—Uchis’ blended upbringing plays a critical role in many of her songs and music videos. In her first No. 1 hit “Telepatía,” a long-distance love ballad sung in Spanglish, Uchis treads goddess-like through the hilly streets of Pereira, imbuing the town’s verdant scenery and colorful stacked houses with an air of Old Hollywood romance. “ A kilómetros estamos conectando [we are connecting kilometers away],” she sings of her far away flame. “Moving in between languages [often] feels like working overtime,” she said in a 2024 interview with the Los Angeles Times . With Orquídeas , she dares listeners to embrace not just Latin music, but a kaleidoscopic pop future that traverses borders both musical and geographical. “I [want to] expand what it means to make popular music today,” she said. “Our music can extend beyond the niche.” — Suzy Exposito

When Nicole Kidman approached Lulu Wang to collaborate on an upcoming project, the director’s gut reaction was to say no. “So often in the industry, somebody makes a film that's a hit and people want to snatch them up to make a big studio movie where they don't get full creative control,” says Wang, whose 2019 film The Farewell clocked numerous awards and earned lead actor Awkwafina a Golden Globe win. “And then, whether it works or fails, you're not quite sure if it's because of you.” But Kidman won her trust, and the pair created Expats , the six-part TV adaptation of Janice Y.K. Lee’s novel The Expatriates , with Kidman starring and Wang directing. The show, which wrapped up on Amazon Prime on February 23, follows a group of foreigners in Hong Kong as their lives unravel in the wake of a traumatic event, exploring complex issues of class, privilege, domestic labor, and motherhood against a glittering backdrop of soaring high rises and neon signs. “Hong Kong being a central character was essential for the series, but also for me to be interested in making it,” she says. “There's not just an intersection of East and West, old world, new world, but an intersection of so many different identities, different classes, different races, different genders, and the conflicts and friendships that come with it.” For Wang, who was born in China and moved with her parents to the US at age six, the show was also an opportunity to interrogate the thorny word of “ expat ” itself: why some people get to call themselves one, while others are immigrants. Even as she becomes more established within mainstream Hollywood, filmmaking will always be her tool for asking uncomfortable questions. “For a long time I got used to working from a place of feeling hidden, like nobody's watching,” says Wang. “The more that you are in your power, the more that you trust yourself and your voice, the more you go against the grain and challenge the status quo, the more fearless you are.” — Lale Arikoglu

Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant

Growing up in San Francisco , Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant’s only exposure to the wilderness was through nature documentaries. “I remember realizing, ‘There are jungles out there,’” she says. The wildlife ecologist knew that she wanted to someday host a nature show of her own, but had no clear road map for how to achieve that. Her journey to becoming a co-host of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom , first broadcast on NBC in 1963, is a study in both perseverance and pivoting. She studied environmental science in college, realizing that “TV show or no TV show, I can have a career helping to design the science that saves endangered species from extinction and takes me around the world and offers me adventures— and I can be a smarty-pants scientist.” Her research took her from the mountains of Montana to the savannahs of Tanzania to the jungles of Madagascar , often as the first Black American woman entering these spaces in a position of scientific authority and expertise—experiences she chronicles in her forthcoming memoir, WILD LIFE: Finding My Purpose in an Untamed World , out April 2. The more she immersed herself in her work, the more she realized her passion for ecology and equity intersected. “I had been taught to keep science and social justice very, very separate, and they came crashing together over and over,” she says. Using her platform today, she advocates for better representation in environmental work . “I don't think any of us are happy with the place the environment is in right now. The habitual practice of excluding certain people and elevating others to leadership has gotten us to this point,” Dr. Wynn-Grant says. “Having more people from diverse backgrounds with different experiences that come from different parts of the world, or different ideologies or societies or communities, will only strengthen the ideas and innovations that are necessary in order to create a healthy, balanced planet.” — Sarah Khan

Working in the Bush – How to be safe and how to be prepared for anything

August 25, 2020 11:08 am Published by Brelynn Howard Leave your thoughts

A road through the Black Spruce Forest

The Mawn rd on the Black Spruce Forest

I can’t believe its August and almost time to return back to online school. COVID-19 has really taken its toll on the world, and life has gotten some getting used to. In Ontario it is now mandatory to wear masks in all public places, and the amount of times I’ve had to run back to my truck to grab it after walking a mile to the door entrance is keeping me in good shape. COVID-19 has been taken extremely seriously at Resolute, and for this I am thankful. It’s a great feeling to know that a company takes pride in protecting its employees. This being said, masks are required on site at the mill and in the office. There is also a walk though temperature reader and symptoms survey that every employee must part-take in at least once a day before entering their workspace. COVID has created limitations for everything, including working in the field.

A truck in the middle of a cleared forest.

The bugs have finally died down!

Most of my summer has been spent driving alone and working alone in the bush. Sometimes 100 km, sometimes 500 km. It’s important to know how to work alone safely, and for anyone doing so, I have some tips on how to be prepared for unsuspected bear encounters, unpredictable vehicle maintenance, and self-protection. The first step to working alone safely is knowing how to drive defensively. I have put approximately 20,000 km on my truck this summer, which is a lot of time spent on the highway, bush roads, and active logging routes. It’s extremely important to always be aware of your surroundings on the road and to know your limits. If you know you can’t drive far one day, it’s okay to reschedule and to pay attention to your body. Anytime I turn onto a road off the highway I always plug in my two-way radio and tune into the right channel. Even if I know there are no active hauls, I call every two kilometers for good practice. Communication is essential in forestry. Before I leave for the day, I am always letting my supervisor know where I am headed and what my plan is for the rest of the day. I make sure all my devices are fully charged, especially my Garmin InReach, which allows me to have communication outside of service. Communication is important for keeping yourself safe when you are working deep in the bush!

The inside of a truck filled with work equipment.

A peak inside my cab.

Over the past couple weeks, I’ve had this amazing talent of running into bears in every other cut-block I walk. The blue berries are out, so that means the bears are out to snack! Keeping this in mind, I am always on the lookout for a very hungry black bear. I always carry bear spray and either my shovel or axe. You never know when you’re out walking alone, and you should be prepared for anything! That being said, if anyone needs a good bear hunting guide let me know, they follow me everywhere.

So what should you bring to the bush? How do you really prepared for getting lost, a vehicle break down or hungry bears? I’ve compiled a list of things that I keep in my work truck, that may help you if you are ever working alone in the bush! In there you can find:

  • PPE (and extras) – hard hat, high vis, gloves, and safety glasses
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Axe, shovel, ice scraper
  • First aid kit, spill kit
  • Chainsaw + appropriate PPE
  • Flagging tape, compass, whistle, bear spray
  • Maps for the day
  • Extra phone chargers, tablet loaded with Avenza, drone
  • Extra jerry cans
  • A jack and tools for a tire change

A waterfall in the middle of the forest.

You never know what you are going to find.

There is nothing that makes me happier than being alone in the woods, connected to nature for 8+ hours a day. There is something calming about knowing that you may be the only person who has jumped over a particular log in 75 years. Northwestern Ontario is absolutely gorgeous and there are some areas that paint a beautiful picture. You never know what you are going to run into, and it’s always important to have a well thought out plan for the day, and for situations where things go wrong, because they will, especially if you are me! Thanks for reading, hopefully this helped a little.

Dangers of Bush-Travelling [15 February 1871]

17 March 2014 · Leave a Comment

[Editor: An article about the dangers of lack of water and hot weather faced by itinerant workers traveling in the bush. Published in The South Australian Advertiser , 15 February 1871.]

Dangers of Bush-Travelling.

A bushman named John O’Flaherty has called upon us and given a very melancholy account of his experiences on “the wallaby-track” in the Port Lincoln district, from which he has just returned. As the fencing of runs has become more and more in fashion, the number of hands required on the sheep-stations has very much diminished, and as soon as shearing is over a great many men are, of course, out of work besides the shearers. In the Port Lincoln district this is peculiarly unfortunate for the hands who have to seek fresh employment, as the country, from its want of surface-water, is very ill-adapted for pedestrian travelling.

A short time ago, our informant states, a bushman was found by the mail boy some miles from Franklin Harbor, on the road to that place from Salt Creek, in a state of extreme exhaustion, having in fact lain down to die. The distance from Salt Creek to Franklin Harbor is 60 miles, and there is no permanent surface water on the way. This poor traveller of course could not carry water sufficient to last him such a distance, and was at last prostrated by fatigue and thirst. When found he had with him a canteen containing salt water, which he no doubt drank, so adding to his sufferings. The mail-boy acted the part of the good Samaritan — gave him fresh water, and stopped with him some time, supplying him occasionally with small quantities of food; and then riding quickly to Franklin Harbor, informed Mr. McKechnie, who, with the smallest possible delay, sent a vehicle and pair of horses for the sufferer, had him brought into the station, and kept him there till he had recovered his health and strength.

John O’Flaherty had a much longer journey to perform, for besides passing over this 60 miles from Salt Creek to Franklin Harbor, he travelled from thence to Port Augusta, a distance of 120 miles, and ran the most imminent danger of losing his life from thirst. It appears that over that distance there are only four places where the water lodges for any length of time after a rain. These are what are called rock waterholes, familiar, and often welcome enough, to persons accustomed to travel much in the neighborhood of the Western Coast. Fortunately, as our informant was toiling over this stretch of waste country, there came some rain, but for which he must have left his bones in the wilderness. As it was, he nearly succumbed towards the close of his journey. When he arrived at a place called Port Lincoln Gap, 14 miles from Port Augusta, he could not speak. He had been four hours doing the last three miles, and was footsore, blistered, parched, and starved. The proprietor showed him the utmost humanity and kindness, and it was needed, for it was 24 hours before the worn and weary wayfarer came fairly to himself.

Mr. O’Flaherty wishes to point out the risks working men run, and the hardships they must expect if they venture into such regions in search of employment. Working men accustomed to station life, however, should know what kind of country they will find the Port Lincoln district and all the western coast to be, and what chance of employment they will have after the busy season is over, and should prepare themselves accordingly. Such journeys as John O’Flaherty describes are undoubtedly not safe in summer time, as in such regions men might, and too often do, perish alone, even on the beaten bush tracks. In going to such portions of the colony men should calculate their return by vessel or passenger traps, as part of their expenses to be considered in making their agreement.

Source: The South Australian Advertiser (Adelaide, SA), 15 February 1871, p. 3

Editor’s notes: trap = a general term used for any two-wheeled light carriage (or cart) with springing, pulled by a single horse or pony, and designed for two passengers; however, the term is also applied to similarly-built carts which are four-wheeled and designed for four passengers; in the early years of the development of motor vehicles, motorized traps were built

How to travel when you live in the bush

  • June 14, 2017
  • Holidays , Community

In a day and age where parking is a pain and getting about in and around cities is becoming ever more stressful, we have come up with some better ways of travelling when you live in the bush. A lot of our research from our customer surveys has informed us that people are looking to travel more with less stress. Generally what people are looking for in a holiday is to meet like minded people, take in some scenery and enjoy travelling at a minimal level of stress. It was all good at one stage in our lives to meet the hustle and bustle of Bangkok with your guide book, back pack and one spare pair of underwear. And if you read carefully through your travel diaries you might also pick up some enjoyment out of the surprises you got when checking in to a particular hotel or most likely hostel in a particular foreign town.

A lot of recent trends in travel can be seen also to be off putting. Whether it is a budget airline charging you to use their toilet, an airline hitting you with exorbitant booking fees or that feeling of unease when you turn up with an extra bag for check-in. It seems that the travel industry has done with good old fashioned customer service and all the focus is now on the bottom line.

We have found that today’s modern day traveler is looking to displace the untrustworthy relationships with corporate booking companies and look out for the few who still care for the customer. People love connecting with people and if we can find an environment that facilitates this with good old customer service, quality tours and hotels, then it’s sure to be a winner.

Other feedback on our surveys suggest that travelers are not that fussy about the destinations and that some people are even interested to revisit some places to see what’s changed over the years. One particular element that is vital for travelers these days is a trustworthy relationship with their travel agent or wholesaler.

The travel team at Christian’s Bus Co. have decided to grow their tours and trips business which focuses on caring for its customers by offering free home pick up*, not just for regular coach tours, but also for their Norfolk Island, Tasmania and upcoming tour of Western Australia.

Working near bushfires

Persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) and workers should be aware of any bushfires near your work area. Follow instructions and advice from emergency services and ensure you can evacuate the area if needed.

  • Safety by topic
  • Working outside

Managing the risks working near bushfires  

Bushfires may pose health and safety risks to workers. Exposure to heat, fire and smoke from bushfires can cause injuries, illness and death. Everyone at the workplace, including workers, should remain vigilant and be prepared to act.

As a PCBU, you must eliminate the risk of bushfires in the workplace, or if that is not reasonably practicable, minimise the risks so far as is reasonably practicable.

A risk assessment will assist you to:

  • identify the bushfire hazard and other associated hazards (including bushfire smoke )
  • assess the risk of bushfires
  • determine the most effective controls measures to manage the risks in your workplace, and
  • review hazards and control measures to ensure they are working.

Further information on conducting a risk assessment can be found in the Model Code of Practice: How to manage work health and safety risks .

To assist you in undertaking your risk assessment, you should monitor the bushfire situation in the local area you work in, especially if you work in a bushfire prone area like bushland, grassland, woodland, or near the coast.

All states and territories have now implemented nationally consistent fire danger ratings and warning systems:

  • the Australian Fire Danger Ratings System (AFDRS) provides information about the risks of bushfires in the local area, and
  • the Australian Warning System (AWS) provides warnings during emergencies such as bushfires.

For more information on how the fire danger rating and warnings issued by your state or territory’s local fire authority can be used as part of the risk assessment process, see the information sheet .

You must prepare and inform your workers of any procedures or processes that you put in place in the event of a bushfire. 

If you have workers working alone, ensure they have a means of communication with you at all times (e.g. a mobile phone). If your workers work remotely or in an isolated place, you must ensure they be able to access help in an emergency. 

Don’t add to the bushfire risk 

Don’t increase the risk of starting bushfires or making them worse, particularly when working in fire prone areas. Ensure you: 

  • Properly maintain flammable chemical and liquid carriers, such as fuel, to minimise the risk of unintentional leakage onto the ground. 
  • Dispose of litter correctly, particularly cigarette butts and glass. 
  • Ensure you don’t use equipment that could generate sparks or flames near combustible material, like grass or trees.
  • Follow the rules of Total Fire Ban or No Burn days in your state or territory - your local fire authority website will have more information specific to your state or territory.

If it’s not safe to work 

A worker has the right to stop unsafe work if there’s a serious risk to their health and safety and should tell their employer when its unsafe to work. 

They must: 

  • Notify you as soon as possible. 
  • Be available to do suitable alternative work to reduce or eliminate the risk of exposure to the smoke. 

Health and safety representatives ( HSR ) can direct a worker to stop unsafe work if the worker’s health and safety is at serious risk. The HSR must try to resolve the issue with you, as the PCBU, first.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush will outline an immigration reform proposal Wednesday that would allow workers in the United States illegally to join a new temporary worker program and not lose their jobs, administration officials said.

Those immigrants could then apply for permanent residency, although those in the temporary worker program would get no preference over other "Green Card" applicants, the officials said.

About 150 guests will be invited to the White House East Room to hear the address, including members of immigration groups and others interested in such policy, said White House press secretary Scott McClellan.

Allowing those who illegally entered the United States to come forward and keep their jobs is the most controversial aspect of the plan.

Administration officials rejected the notion that it would amount to amnesty for illegal immigrants.

They said there is no guarantee those who join the new temporary worker program would qualify for Green Cards.

The workers would have no advantages if they do apply, the officials said, and they would be expected to return to their country of origin when their temporary visa expired.

Officials said the measure was designed largely for economic reasons -- to match "willing workers with willing employers," as administration officials put it.

The officials said the employers would have to show they cannot find U.S. citizens to fill their jobs.

They said getting undocumented workers to come forward would bring them into the tax system and "out of the shadows," as one official put it, and guarantee them wage and employment rights.

One of Bush's goals, the officials said, was to "promote compassion" and get Congress and the country to "understand the broken system" that now includes an estimated 8 million undocumented immigrants, most of them from Mexico.

The initiative will be unveiled days before Bush's visit next week to Mexico for a regional summit and talks with Mexican President Vicente Fox.

Immigration policy has been a source of frequent tension between the two leaders.

"We have discussed for a long time with Mexico the need for a more humane, safe, orderly migration policy," McClellan said.

But he said the September 11 attacks forced a shift in focus to border security.

According to several senior administration officials, Bush's initiative includes such highlights as:

• The new temporary worker program would include a three-year temporary visa, and Bush will ask Congress to allow one renewal -- for six years in all. Officials said they were open to allowing additional terms, subject to congressional negotiation.

• The program would be open to both legal and illegal immigrants, so long as those without papers could prove they were working in the United States as of the date the new policy becomes law.

Officials said that requirement would discourage a flood of new illegal immigration.

• Those who qualify as new legal temporary workers could apply for permanent residency under existing laws but would not receive favorable treatment. But the administration will urge Congress to increase the limit of 140,000 Green Cards issued each year.

The White House initiative is modeled after several pending proposals in Congress.

Arizona Republican Rep. Jim Kolbe, for example, has called for a temporary worker program if employers first posted jobs on the Internet for 14 days to give U.S. citizens first crack at the positions.

It also tracks many proposals advocated by Democrats, who suspect that Bush's true goal is to court the growing Latino population.

In 2000, 7 percent of all voters were Hispanic, but Bush garnered only 35 percent of that vote to former Vice President Al Gore's 65 percent.

"I certainly hope the administration's long-awaited re-involvement in this fundamental debate is genuine, and not because of election year conversion," said Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Among Bush's allies in the debate is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Randel Johnson, a chamber vice president who deals with immigration issues, said including workers who illegally entered the United States is perhaps controversial but in his view, necessary.

"The reality of it is we are not going to deport all these people," Johnson said. "So we have to come up with something to deal with the situation. Or we can continue to put our head in the sand."

But Colorado Republican Rep. Thomas Tancredo is among the congressional conservatives who promise to fight provisions they view as rewarding lawbreakers.

"People who are here illegally -- they need to be deported," Tancredo said. "People who hire them need to be fined. If they keep doing it they need to be sent to jail. It's against the law."

April 2005, Volume 12, Number 2

Bush: unauthorized, guest workers.

President Bush in January 2005 urged Congress to enact immigration reforms: "whether or not you agree with the solution or not, we have a problem in America when you've got eight million undocumented workers here." Bush opposes legalization: "I strongly oppose instant citizenship. I think all that would do is cause the problem to occur again. I believe that if they want to be a citizen, they need to get in line like the other people have done... The system has broken down. And I think by legalizing work, we take a lot of pressure off our borders."

Bush endorsed a guest worker program in his February 2, 2005 State of the Union speech: "America's immigration system is also outdated -- unsuited to the needs of our economy and to the values of our country. We should not be content with laws that punish hard-working people who want only to provide for their families, and deny businesses willing workers, and invite chaos at our border. It is time for an immigration policy that permits temporary guest workers to fill jobs Americans will not take, that rejects amnesty, that tells us who is entering and leaving our country, and that closes the border to drug dealers and terrorists."

Bush suggested that unauthorized workers who have jobs in the US are needed: "I believe that if a person, an employer, can't find somebody willing to do a job in America, they ought to be able to legally hire somebody who is not a citizen of our country, and that that person ought to be treated with respect."

Bush met with Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Texas on March 23, 2005 against the backdrop of Fox's criticism of the US for not moving faster to facilitate the flow of Mexican migrants. Fox has asserted that, if the US continues tightening the border with new fences and more agents, security will be lessened as more Mexicans attempt to enter the US illegally, thereby enlarging the network of people-smugglers who can also bring terrorists to the US.

At the meeting, Bush repeated his support of a new guest worker program and said: "I will continue to push our Congress to come up with rational, common-sense immigration policy." The Washington Post predicted a showdown between Republicans over illegal immigration in April 2005, dividing them into law-and-order conservatives and business interests that rely on immigrant labor.

Concluding the meeting, leaders of Canada, Mexico and the US endorsed a Partnership for Security and Prosperity for North America to "reduce the costs of trade through the efficient movement of goods and people." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/03/20050323 -3.html)

Several bills are reportedly being prepared to deal with unauthorized foreigners. Republican senators Jon Kyl of Arizona and John Cornyn of Texas plan to introduce a bill that would emphasize enforcement and guest workers, with Cornyn asserting that the US "must have strong border protection between ports of entry and a strong employee verification program to put an end to the jobs magnet for illegal entry." Kyl said the bill would not "reward the lawbreakers...who came here illegally and used illegal documentation to get employment and in many cases are creating a drain on our society."

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) is working on a bipartisan immigration plan with Edward Kennedy (D-MA) that is expected to include some kind of an earned path to immigrant status.

Perspective. There is general agreement that, with the number of unauthorized foreigners at about 10 million, and the 80 percent of them in the labor force spreading to more industries and areas, the US should "do something" about illegal migrant workers for equity, security and other reasons. The major US proposals share the goal of converting currently unauthorized foreigners into legal residents and workers, but differ on: (1) who would qualify for legal status; and (2) the final status of unauthorized foreigners.

President Bush would turn currently employed unauthorized workers into guest workers who could, after paying a fee of $1,000 or $2,000, obtain six-year work visas that allowed them to change US employers and travel in and out of the US. Under the Bush proposal, guest workers would have to remain employed or risk losing their guest worker status, and should return to their countries of origin at the end of six years. A new inducement to return would be credit in the home country social-security system for legal work done in the US.

The key features of the Bush plan are confirmation from a US employer that the unauthorized worker is employed, having the migrant pay a registration fee for a work permit, and aiming to have the migrant leave the US after a maximum of six years. The Bush plan would turn currently unauthorized workers into guest workers and open up the US labor market to an unlimited number of guest workers by making it easier for US employers to hire them.

The major Democratic proposal would allow unauthorized foreigners who satisfy residence, work and other criteria to become immigrants. One proposal would require unauthorized foreigners wanting to legalize to have been in the US at least five years, to have worked in the US at least two years, and to pass English tests and security checks. Unauthorized foreigners who did not satisfy these criteria could nevertheless receive a temporary status and stay and work in the US legally until they qualified for immigrant status. There would be additional guest worker programs, but Democrats would cap annual admissions of unskilled guest workers at 350,000 a year.

The key provisions of the Democrats' proposal are legal status for most unauthorized foreigners in the US and a path that leads to legal immigrant status for others. The effect of the plan would be to increase legal immigration but cap unskilled guest worker admissions.

The third current approach to deal with illegal migration applies only to agriculture. AgJOBS would allow unauthorized foreigners who have done at least 100 days of farm work in a previous one-year period to apply for a temporary legal status that would permit them to remain in the US for six years and protect their family members from deportation. If AgJOBS workers did sufficient qualifying farm work over the next six years, they and their family members could become legal immigrants.

Thus, AgJOBS would give temporary legal status to unauthorized farm workers now in the US and open to them a path to immigrant status. Ag JOBS would increase the dependence of US agriculture on guest workers, since housing and other requirements that farmers must now satisfy to hire legal guest workers would be relaxed.

Reactions. Much of the debate over what to do about illegal migrants begins from the same starting point: concern about the presence of10 million unauthorized foreigners in the US. Republican leaders of the immigration subcommittees in Congress favor more enforcement, but not "amnesty," and some of the debate among Republicans is whether the Bush plan to give unauthorized workers temporary work permits is an amnesty. Some Democrats, on the other hand, argue that the US is a nation of immigrants, and that foreigners invited to work here should be able to live in the US permanently and become citizens if they wish.

The Washington Post on January 18, 2005 reported that, when asked: "Do you think illegal immigrants who are living and working in the United States now should be offered a chance to keep their jobs and eventually apply for legal status, or do you think they should be deported back to their native country?," 61 percent of those polled across the US agreed with legalization and 36 percent supported deportation.

A poll of 4,800 Mexicans in the US, conducted at Mexican consulates over six months as Mexicans, mostly unauthorized, applied for Mexican identity documents, found that 79 percent would sign up for "Bush work visas" that required them to leave the US eventually, even though 51 percent of the unauthorized who were questioned said they wanted to stay in the US permanently http://pewhispanic.org/files/reports/41.pdf ). Some unauthorized workers agreed with those who said that the survey supports speculation that unauthorized Mexicans would sign up for work visas, but would nonetheless remain in the US after they expired.

Most of those interviewed were young (half were 18 to 29), male and had arrived in the United States within the past five years. Most spoke little or no English, and most earned under $400 a week.

David North, a pioneer with Marion Houstoun in studying irregular migration in the 1970s, summarized the lessons of legalization under the 1986 IRCA as follows: first, more foreigners applied than were expected, over three million, and 2.7 million were legalized, with most of the excess applications in the Special Agricultural Worker program. Approval rates were 94 percent for those who applied, both to the general and to the SAW legalization programs. North noted that the SAW program did not undergo close Congressional scrutiny, and was added "at the last minute" to overcome agribusiness opposition to IRCA http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back105.html ).

Officials Discuss Details of Bush's Immigrant Worker Plan

By Rachel L. Swarns

  • Feb. 13, 2004

Government officials outlined details of the Bush administration's sweeping plan to overhaul the nation's immigration laws on Thursday, saying that the proposed guest worker program would grant legal status to illegal immigrants who were living in the United States on Jan. 7.

The officials, from the Department of Homeland Security, said legal status would also be granted to the families of immigrants participating in the program as long as the workers earned enough to provide for their relatives.

Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on immigration, the officials urged Congress to pass legislation that would allow illegal immigrants who participate in the program to travel in and out of the United States without restriction. Currently, immigrants who do not have proper documents are barred from re-entering the country for several years.

The guest workers, who would be required to undergo security clearances along with their relatives, would be granted temporary work permits for an initial period of three years. The officials said that the permits could be renewed several times and that the workers could apply for permanent residency without leaving the United States.

Such a provision would provide an incentive for illegal immigrants with spouses or children in the United States to participate in the program even if they have no intention of returning to their home countries in the short term, the officials said.

''The president has indicated that the initial temporary permit ought to be three years, but he indicated it should have the option of renewal,'' Eduardo Aguirre, director of immigration services for the Department of Homeland Security, said. ''He did not have a cap on that.''

''I also don't think the president intends for individuals that are trying to apply for green cards to force them to get out of the country to make that application,'' Mr. Aguirre said. ''I think it's in your power to provide for a feature for those who, as you indicated, have an interest in staying here, to let them apply for a green card and get on a parallel track while they continue to be a temporary worker.''

''The president is not interested in separating families,'' he said.

Mr. Aguirre was testifying along with Asa Hutchinson, an under secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, and Steven Law, the deputy secretary in the Labor Department.
