If they need low-wage unskilled laborers, surely there are high school students or college students who would do the work while on summer break. I worked in a kitchen as my first job (age 16) and it was a great experience, even though it was hard work with low pay. Some of the people working there were immigrants (not seasonal though) and it was a great cultural learning experience in that respect too.
Sure there will be increased turnover and more expenses spent on hiring, but that should be accepted as a standard cost of doing business. Also, hiring young people is better for the community. When a young person has their own job they learn responsibility, money management, and are contributing to the economy instead of getting into trouble.
The numbers of young people working part-time or over the summer has dropped significantly in the past 30 years. I wonder if the ease of getting visas for seasonal labor has contributed to that.
