#2 Pelosi, Schumer, the Business Round Table, the Chamber of Commerce, the Koch Brothers, Warren Buffet and George Soros all say we need as many like this one as we can get.

#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.

#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

#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.

#6 Bring them in on a good wage to train the locals how to crab.
