The H2 program also works other ways, especially compared to the effects of lax border security, illegal immigration, and uncertain worker legality. H2 visa programs are the legal way of matching selected foreign workers with the seasonal needs of U.S. businesses. State and federal agencies verify that the employer pays fair wages and that U.S. workers are not available to fill the jobs. Mexican or other foreign workers are then admitted on temporary visas to work only for that employer and then return home.
For H2 workers, there’s none of the danger and uncertainty of an illegal border crossing. Most H2 workers arrive at their employers’ location on a chartered, air conditioned bus. They are serious breadwinners who choose to live away from their families during the employers' busy season in order to provide their families with a better quality of life. For Mexican workers, seven to nine dollars an hour is about ten times what could be earned in most jobs at home. H2 wages can transform lives.
There is a common misconception that “everyone” wants to be a U.S. citizen. One reason that illegal immigration is such a problem is that it separates families. Illegals can’t afford to pay coyotes thousands of dollars to go back home for a visit and then return. They don’t go home, often start second families here, and lose the family they left behind.
The H2 program actually keeps families together by providing workers solid opportunities, allowing them to save and send substantial money home, and ensuring that workers go home at the end of the season. While there are differences between cultures, a good employer can expect that a Mexican H2 worker will average seven or eight years in the H2 program. After that time, they have earned enough money to take their next step in their home country, from buying a farm or a store to starting another kind of business.
The H2 programs are one part of U.S. immigration policy that works, whether your concern is homeland security, the safety of migrant workers or the success of your business during its most critical peak seasons.
