I’m OK with this if it’s truly all for purely seasonal work such as crab pickers on Maryland’s eastern shore or various service workers in the vicinity of Yellowstone National park.
“or various service workers in the vicinity of Yellowstone National park”
Crap on that. Talking to some guy from China in the Old Faithful Lodge cafeteria line is BS. Those jobs used to go to teenagers from Bozeman, Jackson and Livingston. They were called “savages” because they lived in the basement of the lodge while they worked there. My dad worked there in the mid-40’s.
Now the only people who are “Americans” are the Park Service people themselves. It’s CRAP. Plenty of American kids would love a summer job like that, the contractors simply don’t recruit them.
A bar/restaurant in a Maine coastal town use seasonal workers from Eastern Europe. My son asked about and the owner told him, “The locals would rather stay home than work”.
