Re: “I’m sure not rushing anywhere to pick lettuce, oranges, grapes or strawberries.”

That's a valid point, Vet.

On the other hand, low skill work visas are just a slightly camouflaged version of outsourcing to a foreign country.

However, because the product is perishable, and costly to ship, the American employers “in-source” the labor.

Instead of investing in labor saving machines, the American AG companies intensely compete against each other on the basis of low cost labor.
