Briggs, a labor economist. "The guys that are abusing the H-2B workers should be in jail," said Glah, "but that doesn't mean that all employers of H-2B workers are slave drivers." For a long time, the visa program operated under the radar, but in this election year, it is not that simple. "It's all about politics, and it has become one of the issues that no one wants to address without addressing all the other vexing components of immigration reform," said Robert Sakaniwa, associate director at the American Immigration Lawyers Association. The United States has relied on foreign labor for decades. In 1943, Congress created H-2 guest-worker visas when Florida sugar growers needed Caribbean workers to cut cane.

GOP Death Wish II: Question Us Not
Why did people get upset when FEMA had a pretend news conference or Hillary had the fake questions? The info wasn't bad and few called if it was the truth.

Afterward they assessed the speech, the Iowa caucuses and what next November's general election means on the global stage. Their insights, now that the candidates have moved on to New Hampshire, provide an outsider's perspective on the history that just happened. "What you do is important for the world," Bengt Lindahl said.
