U.S. Custom Harvesters is urging FMCSA to clarify a CDL exemption for H-2A workers – and to exempt other visa holders – to prevent a bureaucratic crisis from crippling the nation’s crop harvesting workforce.
Not sure i understand? why we need foreign/non domicile cdl workers for unskilled occupation? As definned by the government. Unless the truth is its really about not wanting too pay a fair wage! And skirt around safety issues.
Thats EXACTLY what its about. The farmers and harvesters cant afford those 125,000.00 F350’s if they pay a fair wage. All employers that use illegal immigrants or poor slobs and the like, only domit for one reason. Self enrichment at others expense
Well that seems needlessly self-inflicted…
So you’re worried about farmers but not about the illegals obtaining cdl licenses, driving an 80,000 ib ■■■■ down a highway, and not being able yo read road signs. Got it!
And btw, im sure these illegals are the same ones that are receiving our tax money from the democrats for living expenses.
And why the Schumer shutdown was a result to keep funding them. Pure insanity.
Thank God common sense won last year…
