This will skyrocket food prices for Americans, put family farms out of business, and a look at North Carolina reveals that Americans aren’t going to work on farms. More about that here.5 Berry even acknowledges this: “Some conservatives believe that temporary worker programs help to fill jobs that Americans will not fill, prevent illegal immigration by giving farmers and others who hire low-skilled labor access to workers, and keep down the prices of food and other products and services produced by the temporary workers. Some credibly argue that, absent the H-2A program, many farmers would have to drastically increase wages, raising the price of food for all Americans, and that even such wage increases may not be sufficient to attract enough temporary American workers to complete the necessary farm tasks to get food products to market since those jobs are, by their nature, seasonal. Those who share this view argue that any plan to phase out the program should weigh the program’s current costs (relatively low) and the program’s current benefits (makes American farming more profitable and sustainable while keeping down food costs).” (Project 2025, Section 3.9: Department of Labor and Related Agencies, Jonathan Berry, page 644, paragraph 1.)
He goes on to argue for also phasing out the H-2B visa program, which covers seasonal non-agricultural immigrant labor.
