I'm in farm country in NC, and there are entire communities that are hispanic, and the other communities are dominated by hispanic YOUTH. American youth are not staying to farm .
As for law enforcement, my county makes $1,500 per DWI in fines off of each migrant (legal or illegal). 20 drunks are hauled in per week. That is in excess of 80K a month of extra income for pension funds for county employees.
That is why no one wants to deport.
B/S! Enforce the law! Secure the borders!!
Seal the border for 3 years randy then come talk to me about guest worker program, until then you are john mcstain to me, dead as long as you shovel the chamber of crony capitalism BS.
The H1B Technical and Professional Visa works fine, but there are disputes about what the quota should be.
The H2A Ag worker temp visa is a mess. It has an unlimited quota but is not used very much. First off the employer has to advertise the job, which is job that is set in the future. He must then negotiate a contract with Dept of Labor with firm start and finish dates, and a farmer never can predict when the job will start and finish. Then the 60% rule kicks in. After the guest worker begins, if a domestic worker show up looking for a job before 60% of the contract has expired, the employer has to hire the domestic worker. Keep in mind, this domestic worker might be an illegal with fake papers. Then the three quarters rule kicks in. If the employer wants to get rid of the temp guest worker, he has to pay him three fourths of what he would have earned thru the contract. All this stuff needs to be fixed.
The H2B Non Ag worker visa works pretty well but the quota is only 61,000.
Both the H2A and H2B are seasonal temp work visa and benefit the southern states over the northern states because the season starts earlier
Many employers need guest workers for longer term than seasonal so they need a new temp visa that would be for 2 years and can be renewed for an addition 2 years, or possibly 3 and 3 years.
And it all has to be done at the same time because the worker that comes in on the H2A will go awol/illegal, move to Dallas, and get a higher paying job as a welder or brick layer.
People are foolish to think they can control illegal immigration with enforcement only. If the guest worker programs are inadequate, there is no way to stop the illegals or those that want to hire the illegals.
