実習制度はひどい制度だが、アメリカに範を求めてどうする?

実習制度はひどい制度だが、 

What do you mean when you say H2A is a “broken system”?

Isn’t it true that H2A workers are better off than undocumented farm workers?

The H-2A program is, in essence, institutionalized injustice. If it is going to serve as a model for an alternative to unauthorized immigration, it needs to be overhauled. H2A workers are exploited on both sides of the border [link to transnational infographic].  They often pay exorbitant rates to hiring agencies in their home country in order to obtain a visa and come over to the U.S. These hiring agencies- or “job shops”- are unregulated and thus leave workers prone to abuse. Because of this lack of regulation, H-2A workers often arrive deeply in debt. Furthermore, they rarely get to work the schedules they were promised, and are often underpaid. While it’s true that an agricultural visa provides some perks- like coming over on a bus instead of in a crowded van, and having “guaranteed” work (on paper, at least. Enforcement is a whole different story…), the bigger question is whether a system that allows for such rampant abuse of workers and lacks protections and enforcement should exist as the legal alternative to unauthorized agricultural workers.


 Guest farm workers face exploitation, harsh conditions

June 13, 2018

Many migrant workers in California on H-2A temporary agricultural visas are forced to contend with unsafe working conditions, wage theft and other labor law violations. The H-2A temporary agricultural program allows employers to bring workers from other countries, mainly Mexico, for temporary farm labor in the U.S. The workers are given visas that allow them to work in the U.S. but tie them to the employer that recruits them. Part 2 of this story documents migrant workers housed like sardines, and the use of immigration enforcement to expand the H-2A visa program.

こっちもかなりひどい制度のようで・・・・出羽守には困ったものだなああ。

(そりゃタテマエでいいところだけ取り上げれば実習生制度だってすばらしい、とかなる)
