Is that post supposed to contain some revelation? Or perhaps some illumination on the ILLEGAL immigrant issue?
Go crawl back into the hole with the crawfish and other idiots.

Search the OT. There's a crawfish price thread once a week.

Could you imagine the prices if they were caught by Americans?!?!

How many do you have working for you? Last I checked...there aren't crawfish ponds in AZ.
You don't think there are employers in AZ using cheap foreign labor in jobs that "you just can't get Americans do this work"?

The work visa labor we are using on farms in Louisiana isn't cheap and we cannot hire illegals. It's not worth the risk.
There is a need for work visas outside of tech. Sure there is fraud with corporations, but it's not accurate to lump this altogether like everyone that hates Trump wants to do.

25 years ago. You know when things were much cheaper.

Quit whining about boogeyman Trump haters. Not many people care enough about politics to love or hate a politician.
You keep bringing up legalities. That's now what we're discussing.
The foreign labor used on La farms is substantially less expensive than it would be if Americans filled those jobs. Otherwise, why would those employers use foreign labor?

Yes BamaScoop, there’s a good documentary about the true and original natives in the bayou of West Louisiana & it’s basically a tour of the town by one of the elders that is a Crawfish Farmer for generations & he introduces his guys in the documentary.
same guys that’s been with him for a long time. if i find the documentary, I will link it here.
but the answer is YES, we have many latinos doing the grunt work of crawfish farming, otherwise, to get USA labor to do it, would cost a ton more & also have higher turnover of labor force which cost time and money to the overall outcome and production.

THERE ARE NO AMERICANS TO FILL THOSE JOBS.
You are one hardheaded motherfricker.
Pay attention...

I'm just not fooled like you apparently can be.
There are able-bodied Americans not working. There are Americans to fill those jobs. I don't know how much simpler this can be for you.
Another hint is underlined below-

I never took you for an open borders guy.
