As the president’s immigration policies squeeze an already tight supply of farm labor, the Trump administration is making it cheaper to hire foreign farmworkers.
JENKS: End the OPT program. It’s the pipeline from U.S. universities to tech jobs to H1Bs, with tax breaks for hiring foreign grads over Americans. Break that pipeline, you slow the flow. Even a $100K H1B fee isn’t enough. Employers save 30% in wages and keep workers for decades through green cards. Make hiring a foreign worker more expensive than hiring an American.
The H-1B program has turned into a privileged hiring initiative for universities, with 16,000 such visas issued for the last two semesters.
JENKS: DHS is bringing in an extra 65,000 H-2B workers on top of the 66,000 cap. Over the next eight months, these workers will take construction, landscaping, hotel, restaurant, resort, and ski instructor jobs that are entry-level jobs for Americans.
AI:The Department of Homeland Security is executing a massive expansion of the H-2B visa program, dumping an additional 65,000 foreign workers into the labor market on top of existing caps. This blatant assault on the American worker targets entry-level positions in construction, landscaping, and hospitality, effectively prioritizing cheap foreign labor over domestic employment opportunities. While the establishment attempts to maintain a status quo that benefits globalist interests, these administrative maneuvers directly undermine the livelihood of hardworking Americans by flooding sectors like resorts and restaurants with non-citizen labor.Open
