The southwest border is a mess. There have been 5,815,600 apprehensions from February of 2021 through October of this year. Thatโs 1.35 million more apprehensions at the southwest border during this period than there were in the prior decade.
Unfortunately, four GOP presidential-primary debates passed without any mention of how Bidenโs hamstringing of American farmers will exacerbate the border crisis.
Earlier this year, the administration introduced a wage-rate regulation mandating that farmers who hire seasonal agricultural laborers through the existing H-2A visa program pay all their migrant workers the salary of the highest-paying job listed in their H-2A petition for the entirety of the season.
