From discussions I have had

We are looking at getting some landscaping work done. Talking with various companies, they are having a hard time getting workers because the worker visa program was destroyed during the former administration. Even if these hard working people want to get work legally, it takes months. I've talked with local farmers who have the same problem. They can't get people to pick the crops.

These are people that want to work. And they bust ass. They'll do the work that white folks will not. We NEED them. And they want to become Americans. What's the problem with that? They'll haul dirt, clean your hotel room, pick your fruit, dig your ditches, butcher your meat... And have family values more admirable than most Americans. They will do anything for a better life for their children.

We need to make it easier for them to do so legally, and have basic rights, than making it harder. They are escaping truly horrible situations. Where the hell is our morality?
