As many of you know, many people are coming in under the CBP program as asylum seekers. No questions asked. However, as a farmer myself i struggle to find employees. My employees come through the H2A program for that same reason, which is pretty much a work contract. I pick and choose who to bring and for how long. Majority of these ayslum people coming in looking for an “opportunity” refuse to work farm jobs. Many even stay home living off of goverment benefits and have there husbands working with a fake social to report no income. I dont blame them for wanting easier higher paying jobs, but that job could belong to an american. I believe amnesty or work permits will do us no good. I say if you want to come in the best way is under a work contract only.
Also how is it fair that as a farmer myself I pay a lot of money to apply for this H2A program, these hard workers have to go through an interview and background check, I pay there work permit visa fees, they work a temporary time do good and I bring them back because they have proven they are here to work and cause no problems but yet an asylum seeker all they have to do is say they feel in danger at there country and are let in with no questions asked, no background check, no fees, and with all there family.
