The Federal government offers the H-2A visa which allows farmers to import unlimited numbers of foreign agricultural workers for specific short-term work. Those complaining growers mostly bypass the H-2A visa program because they would have to pay an almost acceptable wage under the program, whereas wages for illegal aliens are far less.

This is the truth of the matter these farmers want modern day slavery, with the help of the chamber of commerce.

“This is the truth of the matter these farmers want modern day slavery, with the help of the chamber of commerce.”

Been going on for 40 years. American business wants the modern equivalent of slave labor just as southern businesses did back in the 1800s. Those that can’t appeal to the law when they are transgressed. Those that are unable to demand equality. Those that can’t have a representative voice in government. The Republican party STARTED because of these issues. The republican party became pro-business as they should. Sensible limited government is to their benefit. But business is amoral. Capitalism is amoral(though it has moral benefits). It takes a moral people and its elected government to keep them in line. Illegal immigration is immoral. Amnesty is immoral because it will expand illegal immigration as it did back in 1986.

“This is the truth of the matter these farmers want modern day slavery-”

And they want new voters on the Democrat side. The sooner, the better.
