"...Polaris, which runs a US #humantrafficking hotline, has connected the H-2A visa to... human trafficking, as have a number of criminal cases/media investigations. Wage theft is also a... problem. In an interview... Mike Rios, a DOL regional agricultural enforcement coordinator, said that wage theft is “baked into” the #H2A visa, and described the program as the “literal purchase of humans.”

How Trump Deportations Fit Into War Against American Workers | naked capitalism
Rather than cracking down on employers exploiting immigrant labor, we’re getting an assault on unions and rendition of immigrant activist students. And an increase in H1 and H2s to further drive down wages and worker protections is likely coming.Conor Gallagher (naked capitalism)

You know about the #H1BVisas which the US uses to allow educational staff, tech and corporate workers, into the country, right?
This author at naked capitalism say the reason those #H1B holders are being #deported now is to allow them back into the US labor pool on #H2A #Visas. The "#SlaveLabor/Indentured #Labor" visa used to bring in workers on terms that are as close to #HumanTrafficking as can be, but 'legal'. #H2AVisas #Deportation
