Feinstein wants her ag workers.
She said she would submit such a bill if the present failed.
I suggest you all should take a pragmatic approach.
Tell her aides that the opposition to an ag jobs only bill will be much less, and less vociferous, than the current atrocity in the Senate.
Also ask the aides if they know what a “Z Visa” is. If they say no, suggest they should study that.
They will know right away that they are not talking to one of her supporters.
Talk about loss of union jobs, loss of minimum wage jobs that should be going to minorities, young people and single mothers of modest means. Talk about depletion of heath care and other entitlements to the poor and disabled who already live here.
My big problem with this bill is all these “work visa” types would be voting.
I really don’t think a lot of them will jump through the hoops to become citizens, but I don’t think that will stop them from voting given the fact the Demos keep shooting down proper ID at the polls.
