You're right. The H-2A program includes strict protections to prevent exploitation and wage suppression. I withdraw my praise for the president. He is in fact making American farmers and companies pay higher wages for labor they once got much cheaper. With costs passed on to American consumers. This is the opposite of America First.
Actually Americans arent the direct employers so you have it incorrect. The FLCs are the employers and there is plenty of exploitation going on from the non American FLCs. Assuming because it’s non American employers arent calling the shots doesn’t mean it’s not full of funny business. You show your bias.
You also have to provide a lot more than money, like all housing and all transportation.
It is about contract labor that is reliably showing up. We are paying more for this.
