    H1-B isn’t relevant to people working jobs like picking crops, who far outnumber tech workers.

        Why do you assume unskilled labor must be illegally migrating? Migrant workers are the norm and usually come in on a temp visa. Huge numbers of undocumented workers are here because of an expired short work visa for something like summer-fall harvesting.

          Outside the scope of my point, but fine. Though splitting hairs between illegal entry and illegal remaining is a fools errand. I wasn’t talking about migrant workers. Nor asylum claimers (does anyone NOT claim asylum in this day and age, vs just crossing and hoping to not get caught?).
