The amount of Latin Americans coming over far exceeds the number of visas available to Latin Americans.


You ever realize that there may be a reason for that?

I didn’t give my opinion on the situation- I just stated facts, commenting on why Latin Americans cannot and do not apply for visas

Not sure why you are trying to make a ‘gotcha’

I work with a lot of Hispanics and all the illegal ones can all go back as far as I’m concerned

Absolutely stupid. This will frick up the housing and RE development market even more. Winning

How about arresting and deporting people who refuse to work, rather than folks who come here to work our hardest jobs?

You can be 100% against illegal immigration and still admit that our current system is a black hole of bureaucracy

I remember when Trump tried to drastically increase the budget so they could hire more bodies to increase the speed of this process, only for it to get shitcanned because he might use a portion of the bill to buy more beds in cages.

Many do. But the process can take years and it is expensive. I have a guy from Guatemala that does house painting and a few odd jobs. He has been trying for 3 years to get documented. He pays FICA, income taxes, etc. He’s worried to say the least. But he doesn’t have a criminal record so he’s hoping ICE won’t come after him

How dare you make lazy people earn their own keep. Next thing you know you will want them to lose weight and give up their mobility scooters.

This is what needs to be fixed. We need people who want to work. Of course if you have $5mil laying around you can go to the front of the line.

They need to come to Morgan city. They could get probably 800 of them between two companies.

I'd wager to say 75% of this thread supporting this raiding bullshite are under the ignorant assumption that "illegals don't pay taxes" and just stare at you with their mouth open when you tell them that they do in fact pay taxes.

ETA: downvote if you're a butthurt retard that can't refute the fact that illegal immigrants do pay taxes

An H-2B visa allows a non-citizen to work in the United States temporarily in a non-agricultural job.


So they were granted temporary work visa's under a federal program allowing immigrants to legally hold jobs in the us, temporarily.

And they're mad Landry took advantage of a legal federal program allowing immigrants to legally hold jobs in the us, temporarily.

What's the problem?

At this rate Trump might be able to catch up with Biden’s deportation numbers.
