Nearly all House Democrats, plus a group of 34 Republicans, voted Wednesday to approve an amnesty for illegal farm workers and to outsource more of the nation’s farm workforce to cheap H-2A visa workers.
The bill, H.R. 5038, would likely amnesty more than a million illegal aliens, and it also subsidizes farm companies that hire more H-2A visa workers instead of hiring Americans.
Those subsidies for hiring foreign H-2A workers include rules to cut the H-2A workers’ pay below the expected 2020 rates, plus massive housing subsidies for the migrant workers. The biggest subsidy, however, is that employers will be allowed to dangle the prize of Americans’ citizenship to H-2A migrants who agree to work at low wages for long hours in harsh conditions.

The swamp is still the swamp and cash rules over citizens.
ReplyDeleteAll need to be voted out of office
ReplyDeleteAnyone who votes for amnesty in any form should be primaried.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that few Americans are willing (or able) to do farm work. If we didn't have "illegal" workers, we'd have no food.
ReplyDeleteCut welfare off and people will do it.
DeleteLol whites would suffer the most REMEMBER THEY KNOW HOW TO GROW FOOD
DeleteThat's BS and you know it, 11:30. They can do a temporary visa program and bring them in legally (which means they're screened and vetted like they should be). They already have this program.
ReplyDeleteLetting foreign temps do the work is no problem.. they just have to come here *legally*.
If you reward illegal entry there will be no end to it.
