They don't even have to work one day at the job they signed up for the visa for.
The visa lets them cross the border and they drive anyplace in the country they want to go, just like today's illegal aliens do. We already know that once they get here you can't get rid of them unless you send armed agents to their home or job, put them in hand cuffs, wait months for them to go before a judge and hope the judge will order them deported.

We need a better visa exit program. We keep getting promised that something is in the works (who really knows though).

It is my understanding that legal immigrat workers (visa holders) for farm labor are bused in because they don't hold legal driver's licenses. They are accountable to the farmer who hires them and it is his (farmer) responsibility to house and care for them. Also, it is the farmers responsibility to report anyone that goes on the lamb.


I believe mandatory E-Verify, the very thing Romney is pushing for, will go along way to alleviate a lot of your concerns. If they can't find work elsewhere, they'll be very reluctant to screw their chance for further seasonal work. Additionally, I believe Romney will do a lot more to enforce our immigration laws than Obama has.
