A couple of months back, I emailed Trump's White House site and suggested a few things that would help convince Americans to take seasonal jobs such as farm work.
1. Let able-bodied EBT/Medicaid recipients work the harvest season without penalizing their gibs. Just let them keep the money from part-time temporary agricultural work. This may be appropriate for hospitality in some cases, if it's genuinely seasonal. The "part time temporary" qualification should be mandatory for this program.
2. No taxes on seasonal work.
3. Let seasonal work count for work requirements for government programs.
I'm interested to see if his "dealing with it" involves any of these things.
There's a lot of talk in California about bringing back the Braseros program, which gave wetbacks 4-month visas to work the harvest season, and it DID work---in 1958. It wouldn't work any more; none of them would go back nowadays.
We need to incentivize these jobs for Americans, starting with fair wages. There is no job that "Americans won't do" if it's properly compensated. There are Americans plumbing shit-stopped pipes in 100 degree weather right now, because being a plumber pays. Don't try to tell me that Americans won't pick a little fruit if they're given the opportunity and the money that the job merits.
