Raise your wages, that’s how it works. I don’t get to steak a car because it costs too much.
These POS “businessmen” can either learn the hard way to hire American workers or go out of business.
Article is pure BS. Cheap labor express at the expense of working Americans.
Employers who must import workers are not paying enough.
Increase the wage offered and you will have plenty.
Allowing them cheap labor that costs US our country is not a good deal.
Because Trump never told anybody he’d be cracking down on the importing of cheap foreign labor. Who knew?!
If your business model is predicated on paying your help less than the prevailing wage, then it’s the model that’s at fault, not Donald Trump.
“Seasonal foreign labor”.... that word, foreign... doesnt bother him at all.. tsk tsk.. he didnt hear Trumps plans for a wall?...what is the pay rate for illegals.
You must not have been paying attention, dude. Trump said all of long he was going to restrict the flow of cheap foreign labor.
>>Devine says it has been years since he could find enough dependable, drug-free American workers for his $12-an-hour jobs mowing and tending landscapes for cemeteries, shopping centers and apartment complexes across Central Kentucky. <<

I see the problem.

What a stupid article...
Hire some high school kids for $12/hr instead of importing indentured servants that the U.S. doesn’t have the stomach to deport.
The author of the article should take it to its logical conclusion. Blame President Trump for not legalizing slavery thus allowing the business man to lower his costs further...
Anyone who makes it their business what a person consumes on their own time deserves to go out of business; good riddance. None of anybody’s damned business unless and until it actually effects performance.
Liar; he’s too lazy to look for workers.
Trump spoke about this at a rally in Michigan.
He assured employers that seasonal ‘guest workers’ would be allowed to help and then they would return home.
I’ll wager this guys business model includes making his temporary imported labor pay him rent for substandard seasonal housing.
Harder to underbid his American only competitors when you’re not making it up on the back end.
BTW, where does a "seasonal worker" from Guatemala go in the off season? The welfare/unemployment/SS offices?
Who "won" the business? Somebody was able to find cheap labor.
Just like jacking wages down using H2b effects ALL companies in a market, jacking wages UP by not using H2b effects ALL companies.
The difference is we are hiring Americans who are paying taxes to America.
In the other case, they are paid cash and they send the money home and no taxes are paid America.
And yet they get welfare, healthcare, food stamps...
