You are conflating local maids and orange pickers with an entire industry, as if its run by some republican fat cat somewhere. LOL. A large hotel chain like Hilton, or a farming corporation like US Sugars, use temporary visa programs for their workers. Only middle eastern motel owners and small time dirt farms pay cash to illegals.

Either way, I said MNC's. And I happen to know a little about agriculture and manufacturing. Some farmer who shuns the H2A program (barely any left, BTW) is NOT reflective of US agriculture as a whole. And there simply are no major US manufacturers actively seeking and employing illegals under table. This is a myth.

As for the links you posted... dems have been trying to convince us for years that we cant eat without illegals. Congrats. You fell for it.

I'm not conflating anything. You can dismiss the information in the links that I provided as democratic party propaganda, but you'll only do that if you're not discerning enough to consider the underlying sources for that information.

Is the Cato Institute part of the "dem" propaganda machine? They're more than capable of differentiating between the hiring of illegal workers and the legal hiring of foreign guest workers under the H-2A program.

Congress created the H-2A program in 1986. In March 2020, the Cato Institute said this:

quote:
illegal immigrant workers came to dominate the industry in the 1990s, and the H-2A program was rarely used. While it still [currently] supplies only about 10 percent of farm labor

We can go industry by industry if you'd like. I can quote notorious democratic party propagandists such as the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute.
