Good. A lot of stuff, ranging from construction to harvesting, has been held up by lack of laborers. As long as they’re vetted and legal, it sounds like a great idea.

Lot of tomatoes grown where I now live. “Mexican Jimmy” was a fellow working for a local farmer and had the task of going to Mexico to recruit the help. They came for the season, and went home when the time came

He was also the enforcer if any of them got out of line while here. Nice guy, and his little round wife was an absolute sweetheart.

This was in the 90’s.

Horrible plan.

Pay the American workers more. If it is prohibitive, there will be a natural market for automation.

We have stunted automation in ag, for example, with cheat imported labor, and also made the jobs less appealing, because illegal labor can’t complain.
