The H2-B program is perfect for our business. And finally there was an industry roundtable, Obstacles and Opportunities of A Hispanic Workforce , where a lot of problems surfaced. I m concerned that the general public doesn t see the need for immigrant labor because it s tired of immigration stories. If we have to start calling in social security numbers we re in trouble. We ll see companies go the Wal-Mart route of being low cost operators with cheap labor before they ll invest in the new equipment.
Cheap labor is the core commodity for too many companies.
It s very important to the other Hispanics that their crew leader be Hispanic, but there has to be someone who can communicate with the client as well. It comes with instructio n m anuals in English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, so language is no longer a problem. Nor are catastrophic health care, crime, and education costs.
