There are TWENTY THREE different guest worker visa programs in the U.S. flooding the U.S. with millions of cheap labor workers every year. These programs affect ALL Americans in all positions, from all walks of life.

Of course you know more than the US government studies showing the shortfall of Jobs in the US and the gap that is closed with immigrants.
As far as your decent wage idea, Companies like Ford, or farms moving out of the USA, all because your decent wage and benefits shoved down their throat by ignorant unions have caused their margins to go in the red. You cannot expect to pay Joe Blow 25 dollars an hour to pick a tomato and expect to pay a DECENT wage for that tomato.

The only part of the workforce that Immigrants affect negatively is low skilled uneducated US citizens, high school dropouts with very little or no education.

because they're NOT needed, at least not in large numbers. unions of the 60's had TONS of black members. AFL-CIO and NAACP were some of organizations fighting the hardest against importing foreign workers back then. even today, there STILL shortage noawful "labor shortage", it's a myth that employer push to try and avoid paying a decent wage or giving benefits, the very things that have built the large middle class we have today.

I think this issue shows how racist the USA is. Fighting against a LEGAL guest worker program.
Guess what people? The UK BANNED the evil tandoori from working in IT in UK today. We should do the same - then deport all who are left in USA. No more work visas for tandoori!

Your comment should be directed to a different arena. The visa program that addresses technology workers is, I believe, the H1-B visa program, which has an entirely different set of issues. The H2-B seasonal guest worker program is the program many small family businesses rely on during peak times. Doing so allows these businesses to stay in the U.S. rather than closing or moving to Asia. Keeping the differences in these programs (H1B vs. H1A vs. H2B) in mind is not easy, but it is important

i'm sure seafood businesses are SICK of paying high wages (ala Deadliest Catch), but that's what happens when demand is so high. the demand for crabs has skyrocketed after decades of prosperity. people want to go out to the local seafood "shack" and eat them. if it's too tough to stay in business, i suggest they try a different venture. no one's forcing them to stay in the seafood industry.

your depiction of the high wage (wages which correspond to the high likelyhood for injury or death: there is a reason whu they call that show the deadliest catch) situation in the king crab industry is not analagous to the traditional blue crab business. That said, in relation to wage increases, some industries, such as this food producing one, is inelastic in that there isn't a relationship of demand to labor wages as imports dictate the maximum price for the crab, and hence the wage rate.

If you are interested in a seasonal job in the seafood business, or know people who are interested, PLEASE send them our way. Without either a 50x (or more) increase in domestic applications or some help from LEGAL guest workers, these businesses will close and you will be buying yet more of your food from SE Asia. I hope you like bleaching chemicals and other additives commonly found in the imported food. Its not like FDA will have your back. They inspect almost no imported seafood.
