Here is an article that gives the names of the Republicans that support bringing in cheap labor while millions of U.S. citizens are unemployed.   In our opinion,  if the employers would pay a hourly rate that would allow citizens to earn a decent living, there would be no shortage of workers.  The employers get the cheap labor, and the citizens get stuck with the social and educational costs of the laborers and their families.  When you add in the illegal immigrants the problems and costs are compounded.

Excerpts of the letter written by the Republicans to President Trump:

“”On behalf of the thousands of small and seasonal businesses in our Districts that are struggling in this unprecedented and uncertain economic climate, we respectfully urge you to refrain from imposing any further restriction on the H-2B nonimmigrant seasonal guest worker program as part of any forthcoming executive action relating to immigration and/or economic recovery.”

“This is evident as, despite active recruitment by seasonal employers, very few US workers are seeking and accepting seasonal temporary jobs. Therefore, it is important that the H-2B program continue to be available to our seasonal employers as a failsafe in the event that we see a rapid drop in unemployment and a return to the extremely tight labor markets of just a few months ago. Such flexibility to meet business needs is critical to rapid, solid and fulsome economic recovery. [Emphasis added]”

“As such, we urge you to maintain the continued, uninterrupted operation of the H-2B program with the continued requirement that all employers only have access to it based upon their proven and certified need within the statutory cap. [Emphasis added]”

So look who is sticking the citizens with the social and educational costs of the cheap labor.  None other than Congressman Dave Joyce.  We will not forget the betrayal Congressman Joyce.
