Why do we even need guest workers when we are paying unemployment to citizens and high school kids sit around all summer with little to do?
Non-violent prisoners could also be hired out if they pose no flight risk.
My guess is, especially in the case of unemployment compensation, many would have far shorter claims if they had to work a few days in the fields near their homes to qualify for unemployment.
Because these are not "the jobs that Americans don't want", but "the wages Americans won't work for".
