Those visas are supposed to be for jobs that can’t be filled by citizens, due to a shortage of skilled applicants.

I read an article on FR several months ago with info from the Florida Workforce Commission (or whatever it's called). It stated that Trump does job postings, and most people in FL are not applying for seasonal jobs that pay $9.00 an hour, so he fills the jobs with legal/ visa migrants.

I am more likely to believe the FWC, than MALDEF/LA Raza affiliated dreamers.

Labor is a commodity. Like any other commodity, it is subject to supply and demand. Just because Americans don’t want those jobs at $9.00 an hour doesn’t mean there aren’t qualified Americans who can fill those jobs. With our unemployment numbers, there are certainly more than enough Americans to fill those kinds of unskilled menial jobs, they just might demand more than $9.00 an hour to do them.
