H2B Hurts Who?

[patron]

Below is one example of the indirect effect h2b has on the economy . The actual amounts may be different but still it’s not exactly chump change.


Approximate Ohio dealers:
200 Gm dealerships
200 Ford dealerships
120 Dodge dealerships
Large landscape firms buy on average 5 new trucks a year
Average price of truck is $35,000.00
$35,000.00 X 5 trucks= $175,000.00
Following is based on 100 landscape firms annually!

$17,500,000.00 in sales LOST
$ 1,000,000.00 in sales tax LOST
$ 3,500,000.00 in parts and service sales LOST

It's not like demand for lawn and landscape services disappears with the foreign workers.

I don't get it.... Show us a correlation of landscape firms that hire H2B workers and those large landscape firms that can no longer afford to buy their average of 5 trucks a year, and there may be grounds for some sort of argument. But as this is written, it is just irrelevant rhetorical gibberish. One has nothing to do with the other.

"irrelevant rhetorical gibberish "is why the h2b exemption did not pass

So I guess if they can do it so can we is the logic
