| Mexican National Wanted for Double Homicide Admitted to U.S. on H-2B Visa |
| 2018-12-31 |
| [Breitbart] A Mexican national wanted for double homicide in Mexico was admitted to the United States through the H-2B visa program, whereby thousands of low-skilled foreign workers are brought in every year to take blue-collar American jobs. Every year, U.S. companies are allowed to import 66,000 low-skilled H-2B foreign workers to take blue-collar, non-agricultural jobs. The H-2B visa program is used by businesses to bring in cheaper foreign workers and has contributed to blue-collar Americans having their wages undercut. On September 27, Jose Froylan Garcia Melendez was admitted to the U.S. on an H-2B visa. The following day, after Melendez was rewarded the visa, Mexican officials notified the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to make them aware that the national was wanted in Mexico for double homicide. |

| #5 So the H-2B visa is to bring in low-skilled foreign workers to undercut the wages for blue collar workers. As opposed to the H-1B visa to bring in high-skilled foreign workers to undercut the wages for white collar workers. |

| #4 almost half of all H-2B Visa permits are for people to work in Landscaping and Groundskeeping and in many parts of the country these jobs could be done by people who are unemployed or by students working for the summer - probably it would cost the businesses two to four dollars an hour more and wouldn't affect them much after a year or two of adjustment on the other hand there are some specific jobs like crab meat pickers on the Eastern Shore of Maryland where the H-2B workers are from families that have done this kind of work for several decades and the H-2B workers have higher productivity than untrained US citizens would have even if the citizens were paid $10 more per hour than the H-2B workers -- thus the H-2B program probably keeps a number of businesses from having to declare bankruptcy (also probably reduces the cost of Maryland crabmeat by, say $3/pound). Personally, I consider this mostly a welfare for business program but I suppose if I was in a town on the Md eastern shore that was dependent on crabbing I might feel different |

| #3 >Every year, U.S. companies are allowed to import 66,000 low-skilled H-2B foreign workers Wow! that subsidy must cost Americans billions. No i.e. ZERO immigration of those on less than average wages. Ensure they have health insurance Ensure the migrant has good conduct insurance Ensure they leave on time or insurer pays. |
