Hotel owner tells Hispanic workers to change names

TAOS, N.M. – Larry Whitten marched into this northern New Mexico town in late July on a mission: resurrect a failing hotel.

How do these people (the Louisiana JOP and this guy) expect to do these things and think no one will notice? The rest of the article talks about how he is so successful with turning around failing hotels. I'm surprised he didn't lose them; you get more flies with honey than with vinegar.
