Shoot, shoulda replaced “battle” with “grifting”.
And the visasl application deposits are efficiently channeled into accounts coincidentallt controlled by whom?
Can we all just agree to not give a shit about Texas? Oh, and Florida.
I would extend that to most of the deep sourh… They dug this hole themselves…
More like Republicans dug the hole, and then all of their constituents walked in like lemmings
If the only way an industry could survive is through immigration, it is obvious that there needs to be a legal path for the skilled workers to immigrate. Maybe this should have been considered before the deportation surge.
But I suspect given the sponsors of this legislation that this is unlikely to have a path to citizenship and will amount to indentured servitude.
They considered but didn’t care enough about prospective buyers. Fewer workers means higher costs and better returns for investors.
Yeah, they want immigrant labor but not immigrants.
They’re happy to see them working a field but don’t want to have to “press 1 for English”.
giving them legal citizenship/permanent residents meanign they would have give higher wages and pay more taxes, people arnt going to pay for that, both republican/dem homeowners.
MAGAs are inherently lazy, and thinking is hard, so they don’t think beyond their initial pleasure at seeing the Libz getting outraged at their bullshit.
It never occurs to them that Libz are pissed that the stupid policy is going to cost a LOT of money, raise prices, kill people, etc. Then those things happen, and MAGA is pissed that Libz let it happen.
If ICE is rounding up anyone who looks Hispanic, ignoring or dismissing their papers, then a new visa isn’t going to help, is it?
You don’t understand this is working as designed.
The president of the United States just needs a donation or two towards his “library” and then you can have all your totally legal migrants.
its a ring toss game
This one will have gold trim around the edges.
It’s so stupid it hurts. And even if they get such a solution, nobody will come anymore.
From the House member’s page:
The legislation responds to pressing labor shortages in essential industries by creating a market-driven temporary worker program that adapts to economic conditions. The bill creates a new H-2C nonimmigrant visa, available to employers who prove their positions have gone unfilled for three consecutive months and in areas where the unemployment rate is 7.9% or less.
Wasn’t this a pain point with H-1Bs? They want things to cost less but don’t want to bring in cheap foreign labour to depress wages? How do they not understand supply and demand? “Go be a plumber, they make good money” “Wow, this quote I got from that plumber is so high” “Me be a plumber? No way”
You’re a bot.
So prove US or STFU.
Fuck no. Migrant workers can have jobs with people who won’t fuck them over. Until members of the Regime are forced to be worm food, the USA ain’t fit to hire anybody.
I figured this would happen
And the fruit and wine industry, and cleaning / housekeeping, and kitchens and all those other industries that only survive in the US on cheap labor
Dumb as fuck on top of fuck.
Republicans want immigrants as long as they are tied to a visa, which makes the immigrant reliant on their employer to stay in the country. It’s basically a personalized tyranny.
Still doing their best to bring back slavery after all these years.
its either that or more expensive “domestic” labor, the other one is asian labor for construction but they are much smaller group and usually on caters to other asian homeowners only.
Hey can a fellow leopard pass me some of that face-flavored popcorn?
lions, hyenas, caracals have joined as well.
So apparently ICE doesn’t accept given official id anyways, why is anyone going to want to come on a hope they don’t end up in a concentration camp? Yeah I’m not betting on those odds.
well they are buying WAREHOUSES TO BE turned into concentration camps.
Imagine how desperate one would have to even have a fleeting thought of applying for this visa. And again, why aren’t they addressing the businesses role?
Texas builders were happy to exploit people who they could underpay for their labor due to their precarious position. If we gave immigrants regardless of status workers rights like minimum wage and union protection the new complaint wouldn’t be about deportations, but about how wages are too high right now.
