Stupid Pet Peeves

My mistake for assuming idestroyedthetoilet had a clue about who works for you.

Well considering him and I have talked about it in-depth before, he has a pretty good idea.

You are aware you can get migrant workers legally through the government, right? The H2A program?

So uh...you’re not helping yourself here.

I was not aware. I just looked it up. There are about 140,000 under H-2A. According to https://www.saf-unite.org/content/united-states-farmworker-factsheet, there are more than 10 times as many undocumented farm workers. So, my experience was not that far out of line.

Has hiring under H-2A gotten more difficult in the last year or so, or has this always been a struggle? If the Mexican economy is still so bad, what are your guesses for why hiring has gotten more difficult?

Since Trump, it’s actually been the easiest it’s ever been for us. Don’t think there’s a correlation though, tbh. But the H2A program is unnecessarily difficult. But it certainly hasn’t been more difficult in the last year.

The Mexican economy doesn’t have anything to do with ease/difficulty. It’s the paperwork on our side of the fence. Finding people is literally the easiest part of the process, it’s getting them over in time that’s the hard part.
 
Were the facts on undocumented workers wrong? I didn't read the rest of it. What didn't you like?

Don’t be obtuse.

This whole discussion has been sad from you, starting with the supposition that migrant workers MUST obviously be illegals. Sad OB, quite sad.
