Once we deport all the "illegal" immigrants, the MAGA folk can pick fruit in Florida while the H1B's work at Amazon for pennies on the dollar I suppose

While the H-2A is indeed popular, there are still a staggering number of people working these jobs who are here illegally. https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2012/05/17/the-law-of-unintended-consequences-georgias-immigration-law-backfires/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2012/05/17/the-law-of-... https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/05/27/136718112/georgia-farmers-say-immigration-law-keeps-workers-away https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/05/27/136718112... https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/06/georgias-harsh-immigration-law-costs-millions-in-unharvested-crops/240774/ https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/06/georgia... https://www.politico.com/story/2011/06/ga-immigrant-crackdown-backfires-057551 https://www.politico.com/story/2011/06/ga-immigrant-crackdow... https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/jul/07/immigration-crackdown-2-years-later-georgia/ https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/jul/07/immigration-...

- hipadev23 2y agoThere are a massive amount of overstays on H2A & H4 visas. They didn’t arrive here illegally, but their current status is very often illegal as they can’t switch jobs or extend beyond a season without a cumbersome renewal process, often which requires leaving the country for at least 3 months.

- nicbou 2y agoThe same labour shortage was all over the news in Germany. Meanwhile people were mocking the salaries and conditions offered by those industries. Immigration is only means to acquire labour at below market rate.

The second reason is that we have a lot of people doing bullshit jobs in climate controlled offices but nobody wants to do physical labour.
