Think it’s a great idea as well.
ACLU and the professional grievence & racism mongers won’t like it at all.
Anytime a “minority” would be involved, they would yelling that it’s slavery time.
“That said, IMHO, the solution for farm work is short-term visas - lots of them - for people from the continental Americas.”
Fix the tax code. Right now it costs more to hire legally than it does to hire illegally. The tax code needs to lift the burdens that it places on employers.
Everything else is just a stopgap that doesn’t deal with the real problem. Sure, it’s a way of getting the labour, but it doesn’t fix the underlying issues.
Fr’nstance in my work, it’s often cheaper for an employer to contract me out project wise for projects anywhere in the US and Canada. All it takes for them is to send me the project and I send the completed project back to them for a fee. The employer then writes me a check and we go from there.
Why am I getting good business? Because I’m good at what I do, but the employer isn’t on the hook for me beyond the value of the contract.
The problem is government regulations. Fix them and employers will hire.
