30/Hr....I might think about it.
If you are a H-B1 Farm Worker, they have to pay you the min wage. I don't know what that is in CA but here in CO 14.81 and hour. The Federal Minimum wage is 7.25. That means, those apple and peach seasonal workers un the H-B1 program is 14.81 here. This is also sponsored b by the Employer who has made certain promises with both the worker the the Immigrations Office.
Now let's find a way around it. If you don't want to pay that 14.81 an hour you can illegally import workers whom will work for just about any amount. All of a sudden, the 7.25 an hour looks pretty damned good for them but they'll do it for less.
It's easier to get around the H-B2 (non ag worker program) just by going to the nearest place that illegals congregate and hire them directly. They are illegals whom will work for almost anything so they can send their money back to mexico to their families. Now, let's make it extra hard to cross the border.
Now, only the well off can afford the illegal workers at a high rate. For instance, many are hired and then fired after less than 90 days and are refused to be paid. The then the employer just brings in the next batch. Case in point, the various Golf Courses and Mara largo construction. Now, don't get me wrong, it's pretty well a common practice, not just by the "One". But it's wrong.
Put the onus back on the employer who has to stand behind the H-B1 and H-B2 worker and pay them the minumum for where ever they are working. And if they can't qualify for either the H-B1 or H-B2 then they shouldn't be hired. If any employer is caught hiring these people
UNDER THE TABLE then they need to be put out of business as there are many legal companies willing to take those jobs. And no, an Illegal that is here illegally cannot qualify for either permit. Plus, any immigrant that has a criminal record in Mexico or anywhere else can also not recieve either work permits.
