Dear John,
The Biden administration's new labor policies negatively impact American
farmers and contribute to increased illegal immigration at the southwest border.
A new wage-rate regulation requires farmers to pay all H-2A agricultural
migrant workers the salary of the highest-paying job listed in their visa
petition for the entire season. So what does this mean in plain English?
If one of several H-2A sweet potato farm workers in North Carolina spends
almost all his time harvesting potatoes, but drives a truck a few hours a week,
the farmer must pay himand the rest of the migrant workers truck driver wages
(which are much higher than harvester wages) for the entire season.See more on
this ludicrous regulation in my op-ed inNational Review.

And if that isn’t enough, a new proposed regulation requiring farmers to give
labor organizations monthly access to their work sites and share workers'
personal information without consent would impose additional costs. It would
also likely result in privacy violations and unwarranted public attacks.
The cumulative effect of these Bidenomics regulations will likely discourage
farmers from using the legal H-2A visa program. This pushes them towards hiring
illegal immigrants to meet labor needs, consequently incentivizing even more
illegal immigration and chaos at the southwestern border.
There’s a better way.
Check out my National Review op-ed

, which calls for the repeal of these regulations, and learn about how seasonal
legal migration has historically reduced illegal immigration.
Best,
