1. H2-B Visas are legalized slavery

H2-B visas are not held by the "guest workers" they are held by the employers and cover a certain number of "heads". There are no names attached to these visas.

Any foreign guest worker can instantly become an "illegal alien" simply by pissing off his boss and getting fired.

And just like magic, a different "illegal alien" can become a legal guest worker by taking that very same vacated job.

And while we wail and gnash our teeth at these so called illegal aliens, these legalizes slave owners laugh all the way to the bank.
