Does the Biden Administration Really Want to Ease the Pressure on the Southern Border?
By David North on April 20, 2021
Does this administration really want to relieve the pressure to cross our southern border?
A recent decision that could have awarded 16,000 seasonal jobs to the three countries in the Northern Triangle suggests it does not.
If the jobs had been given to workers from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, perhaps that many fewer families would be clamoring to enter the U.S. illegally.
These are H-2B, unskilled, non-ag seasonal jobs. Any able-bodied person can do them.
What the administration did, as the Trump administration also did earlier, was to increase the ceiling by 22,000, specifying, this time, that 6,000 of them were to go to people from the Northern Triangle.
