Wow, so brave, these unions. Target Mikulsky, who has already announced she is retiring.

Babs Mikulski: one of the most useless, of the many, in the US Senate. a little late and a dollar short for unions to finally recognize how little interest she truly has in any of her constituency.

Trump's hotels hire H2B workers. Lawn care companies hire H2B. In Maryland they are needed to shuck oysters.

The H2A ag worker visa and the H2B non-ag worker visa are seasonal work visas.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Trade unions and even the Teamsters with the idiocy of foreign Mexican drivers of trucks being allowed to tractor trailer all over the country. That has to put a knot in the Teamsters colon.

Remember the Teamsters backed Reagan!

Lawn care companies and oyster farms should be hiring workers that are American citizens. If the cheap import labor was dried up, they would be forced to do so. Many of those jobs used to be filled by High School and College kids.

Would help them pay for some of their education and not require such a large loan.

A college kid who worked in lawn care at $150 a day could earn over $15,000 in a ninety day summer. That puts quite a dent in a college tuition particularly at a state college or community college.

"If the cheap import labor was dried up, they would be forced to do so."

They would be forced to hire illegals. They main part of immigration reform is to reform and expand the guest worker programs so there is no demand for illegals.

As for how much money an individual can make operating a leaf blower, that is limited. In my college days(60s) I worked as a groundskeeper one summer, but I also worked for a asphalt paving contractor, both being minimum wage jobs.

Back in the 1980s, I knew two brothers who began as teenagers mowing lawns and grew that into one of the largest lawn care companies in Dallas. They hired lots of illegals.

One of the problems with seasonal visas is that the season starts earlier and lasts longer in the southern tier of states so they are more likely to find H2B workers before the quota is reached, while those employers to the north have a much harder time.

Oyster processors in Louisiana can get H1B workers but those processors around the Chesapeake Bay cannot. A hotel in FL is more likely to get an H1B worker while the hotel in Maine will not.

Yeah, well that’s the problem when you choose to join in a tribal spoils system - sometimes other tribes count more than yours. :)

The group said that her actions could lead the group to find someone who would better reflect their values in the Senate

Unless they abandon the democrat party, not so much. Funny how they wait till Babs is 'outgoing' before they say anything.

The point is that we have plenty of excess labor in this country right now. They are undercut by illegals and temporary visa holders.

We do not need the extra labor. We need a smaller safety net and a competitive labor market that does not include indentured servants and illegal slaves.
