My point was that the current H-2B is not used because illegals are still cheaper and more compliant.

There's no disputing the agricultural industry would much prefer the taxpayer-subsidized illegal alien labor. Even in the unlikely event one of these candidates actually secures the border and forces farmers to keep their workforce legal as Eisenhower did I have little confidence the government will enforce the requirements for them to stay legal.

Agree the guest worker programs are not enforced. ~40% of the ~40 million illegals are visa overstays. In IT and in other professional fields we compete with illegals!

Unless something like e-verify passes all of these "guests" can just drift around as easily as they are now finding better jobs and nothing much will change.

Agreed. I have come to the conclusion there must be an enormous amount of money involved in our wide open borders and flooding the country with illegals and guest workers!
