Repeated government audits [of the H2 visa program favored by Trump and others] have found that the Labor Department suffers from an “inability to consider debarment” for the most serious violators. Records and interviews show that the agency has blocked its own staffers from even trying to find out whether companies are breaking the law, and that sometimes it ignores its own investigators when they suggest that abusive employers be debarred.

The few companies that do get debarred often seem to view it as little more than a minor nuisance. Agency rules make it easy for debarred companies to simply reinvent themselves, filling out new visa requests under a different name or address, and quickly winning agency approval to bring in more workers.

Didn't we have a class of workers with less-than-full-citizenship up until 1865 or so? That worked out well too, didn't it?
