So my question is: why did we not - and why have we still not increased State Department resources and access to temporary work visas for South American workers? If we really do need million of service workers, why haven't businesses and their representatives in government come together by now to make it easy for a foreign national to legally enter this country. It seems to me, if it were easy to do so, a family or worker in this country illegally would willingly return to their homeland if they knew they could enter legally in short order.
Practical legal access to foreign workers is as important to border security as border guards and fences. Assuming additional resources would be required to process the increased number of visa applications, the cost of those resources should be born in the form of worker import application fees by the businesses employing foreign workers.
