Guest Worker Advocates Won't Talk About Unemployment


Elizabeth Chavez writes in favor of expanding the H-2B program in the Houston Examiner. Like most advocates for expanding guest worker programs, Chavez does not mention unemployment in her commentary. "The process of obtaining lawful status for non-professional workers without university degrees is a very cumbersome, if not almost impossible process. Current immigration laws favor giving lawful status only to immigrants, who possess a university education," Chavez says. This is true, but only for employment based immigration. There is no educational qualification for family-based immigration, which takes a large share of legal immigrant visas each year.
