We are still operating on the false choice of either having native born americans or illegals. No one wants legal temp workers because we know that the government will not track them. That is the root cause of the bullshiite- knowing that the libs want everyone here and every program will be abused to make it a chance to stay here permanently.
Otherwise, private companies should be able to apply for an temp worker positions and to recruit in other countries as necessary. Then they are responsible for certifying to the government that they are still in contact with them and certifying to the government when they have left so that the government can run a computer check to confirm their exit. In addition the sponsoring country needs to post bond for all of them. If you bring one in who is accounted for then you pay for the tracking him/her down- bigly. They will smart real fast about who a good and reliable hire is and is not. In addition, employers should be allowed to withhold a large but reasonable portion of their pay until they have completed their work period and it will sent to their home country and must be personally claimed their. Employees need rights and protections and if employer doe not pay, then the government needs to lock them up. '
When we start getting serious about tracking temp/seasonal workers then we can talk about bringing more in. There are solutions all over the place. The government cannot even run a computer check now when someone overstays their visa and give you a body count by region.
WTF! Maybe amazon and ups can give them some tips.
So, what I am saying is that if you say to me "we dont have enough workers in the hurricane area and need to bring some in outside the country but their will be background checks, company oversight and sponsorship, and certification of their leaving by their scheduled exit date, then I am willing to talk.
On the other hand, if you dish out the same old shiite which is "americans dont do work so thats why letting uncontrolled illegals coming into the country is good for the country and the economy, then don't bother. That dog don't hunt for me. Astute viewers will note that I am also interested in protections for the temp workers too and possibility of their building an honorable work arrangement that will not necessarily lead to citizenship but will nevertheless be good for them. And if they have kids while working here, which will happen often, then they need to know in advance that the kids will need to go to mexico with them when they leave or else they simply are not going to be with their parents. Despite the lib narrative, no one is separating them from their kids. The kids are free to go there.
